INITIAL PLACEMENT IN COMPOSITION AND LAB (010) COURSES:
Because students are placed in ENG 142 , ENG 145 , and ENG 010 courses based on (1) SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, CXC, or B/GCSE scores and (2) diagnostic evaluation conducted prior to the first day of classes, students may not drop, add, or change course sections or levels without the permission of the Director of College Writing (for ENG 142 , ENG 145 , and ENG 010 courses). This is the only College official who may alter composition and lab courses on student schedules during the drop/add period. Students should consult these individuals if they have questions about how they were placed in composition or lab courses. In cases where students’ standardized test scores suggest eligibility in two levels, the higher score will be used to determine placement.

COLLEGE WRITING REQUIREMENT:
All students, with the exception of those who have earned an Associate of Arts degree, must complete either COR 101 , COR 102 , COR 103 , or COR 104 . Advanced standing college writing in which a sufficient score has been earned (see score charts for more information) and dual enrollment college writing in which a grade of C or higher has been earned will be awarded as HUM 199WI – Humanities Elective.
SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE COMPOSITION SEQUENCE:
All students enrolled in them must satisfactorily complete all sections of composition and Academic Writing with a “C-” or better (or a “P” in Pass/Fail courses) in order to exit or advance to the next level. Any student who earns a grade of “D+,” “D,” “F,” or “WF” must re-enroll in the same course during the subsequent semester.
WITHDRAWALS FOR EXCESSIVE ABSENCES IN COMPOSITION Courses:
Students withdrawn from composition because of violations of the course attendance policy will be assigned a grade of “WF” even if the withdrawal occurs before the “last day to drop a course with a W” date listed on the academic calendar.
LAB COMPONENTS AND CO-REQUISITE COURSES:
Students who are placed in ENG 142 or ENG 145 will be concurrently enrolled in ENG 010 (lab component).
Students who fail (“D+,” “D,” “F,” “W,” “WF”) ENG 142 , ENG 145 , COR 101 , COR 102 , COR 103 , or COR 104 must repeat the course until they pass. Students repeating ENG 142 or ENG 145 must co-enroll in ENG 010 in the same semester as their repeat attempt.
