Chemeketa Scholars
^{How to Apply}

Step 1

All applicants

1. Complete Chemeketa's web admissions application
   Make sure you indicate enrollment for fall 2010. You will receive information about your Chemeketa student identification (K number) via email within three days after completing the admissions application. 
   
   Even if you have previously taken Chemeketa courses or you are enrolled in College Credit Now, you must complete the admissions application. You cannot proceed with the next step until this is completed.
   
   
2. Complete Chemeketa’s COMPASS placement test in reading, writing and math
   You can take the placement test after receiving your K number. We recommend you take the test soon to ensure you obtain the minimum scores required for eligibility. If needed, you can retake the test for a $15 fee. We also encourage you to review test taking tips.
