Student Equity and Achievement Program (SEA)
All new students are required to complete the Student Equity and Achievement Program (SEA) matriculation process which includes three core services: English and Math Placement, Orientation, Counseling/Student Educational Planning (POC).
PLACEMENT:
Following the guidelines of AB 705, LA Valley College has implemented a NEW process for placement into English and Math courses as part of student's application process. The college application process utilizes multiple measures including high school coursework, grades, and grade point average to determine placement into college-level English and Math.

Students interested in being placed in the English as a Second Language (ESL)sequence may visit the Assessment Center for ESL assessment and placement.
