(D) Procedure

Students with an ACT English score of 20 or higher are eligible to enroll in Composition I (ENGL 1110). All other students must take the English Composition placement test before registering for College Composition.

On the basis of this test, a student will be placed in Academic Writing (SKLS 0990), Writing and Grammar for Students with English as a Second Language (ENGL 1020), Composition I with Workshop (ENGL 1100), Composition I (ENGL 1110) or Composition II (ENGL 1130-1150). Students with prior college credit in English composition should check with a college adviser.

Recent high school graduates with an ACT composite score of 18 or less, and/or a final high school GPA of less than a 2.00 may be required to take a special placement test to determine academic strengths and areas needing improvement. Some students may be required to take skills enhancement course work as a result of the placement test. Students who have not recently graduated from high school will take placement tests as determined by their college adviser.

Placement tests also are given in foreign languages, chemistry and mathematics. A satisfactory score on these tests is a prerequisite for the following courses: foreign language courses, Chemistry 1230 and mathematics courses. ACT math scores in conjunction with the student’s high school work may substitute for the placement tests.

Placement tests are scheduled during the summer orientation periods. In addition, they are given on a walk-in basis by the University Test Center, Rocket Hall Room 1569 or at the Scott Park Academic Service Center Room 1200. Foreign language tests are given in Rocket Hall.

Students with disabilities who need assistance with placement tests are encouraged to contact the Office of Accessibility for support services and/or accommodations.
