Ordinarily, all new students are assigned to a course in English composition. Satisfactory completion of 01:355:101 or its equivalent is a graduation requirement. Additionally, students must complete satisfactorily a course formally designated by the college as writing intensive.
On the basis of placement tests, some students also may be required to take a noncredit writing skills course or a multiple-course sequence in English composition. Stu- dents are placed in writing courses based on university- administered placement tests.
Students are required to enroll in the appropriate writing course each term until they have fulfilled the requirement.
