Writing Program Reassessment Essay

Steps for Reassessing Placement into ENG 11011

1. Register to complete the Writing Program Reassessment essay at your home campus testing center: University Testing Services
   1. Note: When completing the reassessment essay, all written content must be a student's own original writing and ideas. Students may not use secondary sources (other than the prompt, if necessary) and may not use artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT or Grammarly. Any instance of plagiarism—including AI—will disqualify a submission.

Steps for Reassessing Placement into ENG 21011

If you have a high school GPA of 3.8+ and would like to place directly into ENG 21011:

1. Contact your home campus testing center: University Testing Services
2. Submit a writing sample from your high school English class that is at least 3-4 pages (about 1,000 words), includes secondary sources with in-text citations, and a Works Cited/Reference page.
   1. Note: All written content must be a student's own original writing and ideas and demonstrate a student's ability to summarize and cite credible, secondary sources among their own words. Students may not have used artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT or Grammarly when composing this essay. Any instance of plagiarism—including AI—will disqualify a submission.

Steps for Writing Program Reassessment Essays to be Rated:

1. The Testing Center will send your completed essay to the English Department administrative assistant.
2. The English Department administrative assistant will send the essay to the Writing Program Placement Team.
3. The first two raters who are available will rate and reply-all to the administrative assistant’s email. If they disagree, the third rater will assess and rate the essay to determine placement. Essays are rated holistically and will not receive a numeric score. All essays should be rated within five business days of receiving the essay.
4. The administrative assistant will contact the student about the student’s final placement. If the student’s course changes based on the placement score, the student should schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss the results.
