Quick List: English Placement at RWC

• English placement at RWC consists of a placement essay and the COMPASS Reading and COMPASS Writing Skills tests.

• The English Department no longer accepts ACT scores for English Placement.

• All entering students must have recent (within the last 3 years) English Placement Test Scores to enroll in Prep or English Composition.

• Course eligibility will be checked and students will not be allowed to remain in courses for which they are ineligible.

• Once placed, students must complete each course in the sequence in that order unless waived by the English Department.

• All exceptions must be cleared with the English Department.   Please contact Marlene Miner, Placement Coordinator or Phil Luther, Dept. Chair.

Quick List: Exemption, Assessment, and Co-Requisites

• Currently, students who wish to be considered for exemption from the English Composition requirement must take the CLEP test.   The English Department is in the process of devising an alternative measure.

• Students in Preparatory Composition must pass a portfolio assessment (the Prep Exit Review) to move to English Composition I.

• The Exit Exam is no longer given in English Composition III (ENG 103).  The department is in the process of developing a new assessment procedure for the sequence.

• Students who completed English 103 prior to spring of 1999 and who have not passed the Exit Exam should contact Bonnie Johnston in the Writing Lab.

• Computer Awareness is a co-requisite for all students in English Composition I.  Students with computer knowledge may take the "Challenge Test" to be exempt from the computer skills portion, but all students must take the library component.  Students will not receive a grade in English 101 until they have fulfilled this requirement.
