All incoming students will be “evaluated” for English placement for the following:
- Composition placement in EN 111 or EN 090
- Support course recommendations for EN 103.
EN 111 College Composition
New students who have a 2.0 HS GPA or higher OR transfer students WITH a 2.0 may enroll in EN 111.
-
These students will be able to sign up for EN 111 on their own when they register.
EN 090 Basic Composition
Students who have less than a 2.0 OR are missing HS GPA data will not be able to enroll in EN 111 and will be REQUIRED to take EN 090.
-
Students will be allowed to appeal this decision (see below).
EN 090 Appeal Process
Students wishing to appeal their placement can go to the following link and take an online writing test.
- Students will have three writing prompts from a rotating list of potential writing topics and will have up to two hours to complete the test.
- An e-mail will be sent from the English Department to let students know if their appeal was approved or denied, usually within one week of submission.
