Chemeketa Scholars Steps to Apply

Step 1

All Applicants

1. Submit Chemeketa's admission application
   Make sure you indicate enrollment for fall 2023. 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 process
   Chemeketa placement assessment process begins with this form. Submit the placement 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. We recommend you submit the placement form by February 24 to ensure you have your placement prior to the application deadline. You will need to download your placement scores from your Chemeketa account and upload to the Scholars application.
