Chemeketa Scholars Steps to Apply

Step 1

All Applicants

1. Submit Chemeketa's admissions application
   Make sure you indicate enrollment for fall 2021. You will receive information about your Chemeketa student identification number (K number) via email after completing the admission application. Even if you have previously taken Chemeketa courses or you are enrolled in College Credit Now, you must complete the admission application. You cannot proceed with the next step until this is completed.
2. Complete Chemeketa's placement assessment in reading, writing and math
   As a result of our remote operations, we have redesigned our placement process. Chemeketa placement assessment begins with this form. Submit the placement assessment form early to ensure you obtain the minimum levels required for eligibility. This form will determine your placement in reading, writing, and math. Allow 3-5 business days to receive a placement response. You may be required to take an additional assessment. You will need to download your placement scores from your My Chemeketa account and upload to the Scholars application.

Step 2

High School Applicants

1. Obtain a copy of your unofficial high school transcript 
   Your transcript should verify a minimum 3.50 cumulative, unweighted grade point average and must include grades from the first semester/quarter of your final year in high school. Your transcript must also show your expected graduation date or class of 2021.
2. Complete and submit the Scholars application
   Upload all required documents prior to submitting the application. The application will be available March 8-12, 2021, 5 pm.

Homeschool Applicants

1. Obtain a copy of your ACT or SAT test scores 
   Your scores should verify you meet the required minimum. PLEASE NOTE: this requirement will be waived for fall 2021 admission in recognition that testing sites were unable to offer these exams this year.
2. Obtain proof of homeschool registration status through the Willamette Education Service District (WESD)
   Home School Confirmation letter
3. Complete and submit the Scholars application
   Upload all required documents (including placement scores and homeschool registration proof) to the Scholars application. The application will be available March 8-12, 2021, 5 pm.
