A course may be applied to only one EMU Core requirement, with the following exceptions: a course which meets an EMU Core requirement may also count as a writing intensive, communication intensive, technology intensive, or community experience course. (See clarification related to Language Learning language learning and communication intensives below.) 

...

  1. As part of guided self-placement, students will complete a questionnaire to determine appropriate placement in WRIT 125, WRIT 135, or WRIT 140. Placement will be confirmed in consultation with academic advisers.

  2. In the first week of class, a diagnostic essay will be written in WRIT 125, WRIT 135, and WRIT 140 to confirm placement. Adjustments may be made to writing placement at that time.

  3. A student who scores 4 or 5 on the AP Language and Composition exam earns 3 hours of credit, satisfies the writing course requirement, and will enroll in CORE 302 University Research.

  4. Students who wish to meet the EMU Core writing requirement through dual enrollment writing courses may be asked to demonstrate writing and research skills equivalent to the objectives of the EMU course WRIT 135 College Writing II. The following points apply to instances where a student wishes to meet the EMU Core writing requirement through dual enrollment writing courses:

    1. Students with a grade below B in their dual enrollment writing course (or in the second semester of a two-part writing sequence) will be placed in WRIT 125 or WRIT 135 based on their ACT/SAT English scores and grades in junior and senior year high school English courses.

    2. The director of the writing program may, upon review of a student's overall record, recommend that a student with a grade of B or better in dual enrollment writing enroll in a first-year writing course at EMU.

    3. The director of the writing program may request a writing sample from a student in the process of deciding which EMU writing course/s to recommend. Additional methods for determining writing placements may be introduced as needed.

    4. Students who have satisfied the writing course requirement through dual enrollment will enroll in CORE 302 University Research.

  5. CORE 302 University Research is strongly recommended for students who transfer credit fulfilling WRIT 135 College Writing II from other schools or through Transfer Virginia's Undergraduate Certificate of General Studies. If in doubt about whether to take University Research, transfer students should consult with the academic advisor in their programs of study. Transfer students should enroll in the course prior to or in the same semester that they take their first Writing Intensive course at EMU.

  6. If a student takes WRIT 110, WRIT 125, or WRIT 135 two times and does not pass, the director of the writing program, in consultation with the academic deans, will provide a recommendation regarding next steps for the student to gain readiness for our writing courses.
