English & Math Placement
At Peninsula College, most programs and courses require English and math placement. This process is designed to ensure that students begin their studies in courses that are not too difficult, but also not too easy—courses that accurately match their level of knowledge and preparedness. Several options are available for placement. Please check out our placement options to see which one is right for you.
If you have questions, please contact the Placement & Testing Center at (360) 417-6346 or email placement@pencol.edu.
Transfer Credit: College Transcripts & AP Credits
Students who have completed college credits at another college or university, or have completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school for college credit, please let us know so we can apply those credits to your Peninsula College transcript.
Official college transcripts and transcripts showing AP credits can be sent to transcript@pencol.edu (or to the mailing address below) to be evaluated for credit transfer. Electronic transcripts must be sent by the institution you attended to be considered official.

Online Orientation: For new students who are unable to attend one of our in-person orientations, we do offer an online orientation.
