T
his catalog is a powerful tool. Sure, it might look like a
jumble of course names, codes and numbers right now.
However, this is one of the many Waubonsee tools that can
help change your life! With this catalog, you can select the path that
will take you where you want to go.
When I started working, I wanted to work in higher education

because of the power of education to change lives. And, I wanted
to work at a community college because I believe this is where deep
connections and learning really happen.
Within our 53-year history, nearly 310,000 people have come to

Waubonsee Community College to take that next step in their
Christine J. Sobek, Ed.D. education or career. And, people find just what they need through
President degrees, certificates, specific classes, professional or personal
development courses, support, entertainment, and more.
Community colleges have a unique place in higher education. For

many, a degree from Waubonsee will be the first of many degrees in
their educational journey. Others will use a Waubonsee degree or
certificate to start a successful career or business. Still others find
Waubonsee to be a place of new beginnings and new discoveries.
Community members of all backgrounds and ages find something
unique at Waubonsee.
Waubonsee is college. Even better, Waubonsee is community

college. We look forward to seeing you at one of our four campus
locations or online, getting to know you and learning what
Waubonsee can do to help you take the next step to achieve your
goals.

Placement Testing at Waubonsee — ACCUPLACER

If you do not have valid test scores or prior college-level coursework that meets these minimum requirements, you
must take placement tests at Waubonsee. Waubonsee uses the ACCUPLACER suite of tests to gauge current skill
levels in reading, writing and mathematics. A free online preparation tool is available at waubonsee.edu/plato.
Once you test, use the following interpretation guides to see which courses you are eligible to take. Waubonsee staff
members will also walk you through the guides to make sure you register for the correct course.
Note the following:
• ACCUPLACER test scores used are valid for five years from the date of testing.
• Retests: You may retest once in a five-year period after waiting at least one week from your original test date. There is a fee per
subject retest. Retest on a walk-in basis, space permitting. If a second retest is needed, see Assessment for details and rules.
• Programs with Special Admission Requirements: Please refer to the Program Admission Testing Interpretation Guide for
program placement guidelines into Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B), Phlebotomy (PBT), Certified Nurse
Assistant (CNA), or Auto Body Repair (ABR). See waubonsee.edu/placement-testing
• The higher score on all assessments taken will be used for course placement.
Please consult with a counselor or advisor prior to course registration.
