To comply with a new policy of the Council on Postsecondary Education, a new placement policy is in effect for beginning freshmen entering fall 2001 and later.  English course placement is based on the ACT English or SAT verbal score as follows:
 

ACT English Score 29 or higher 18 - 28 16 or 17 15 or below

SAT Verbal Score 650 or higher SAT 450 - 640 SAT 410 - 440 400 or below

Appropriate Course **See note below **English 100 **English 100E (Enhanced) **Developmental English 055C

* Students with an ACT English score of 29 or higher (SAT verbal of 650 or higher) may receive credit for English 100. The Office of Admissions will inform students of their eligibility to receive credit following receipt of official test scores.

** Banner pre-requisite checking will prevent students with an ACT English score of less than 18 (or the SAT equivalent) from registering for English 100 without a course pass. Students with an ACT score of 16 or 17 should select an English 100E (Enhanced) section, which includes one extra class meeting per week. Students with an ACT English score of 16 or 17 may obtain a course pass for an English 100E (Enhanced) section at the OAR registration site. Developmental English 055 (DENG 055C) is listed in the schedule under Academic Support Division of the Community College.
