Subject: [UPAC] Writing Placement Scores for OOS Orientations

 

Dear Advisors,

 

Writing Placement will not be attending the out-of-state (OOS) Orientation
sessions which is why I’m providing the attached table of the Writing
Placement (UAENGL) test types/scores and course eligibility. Students are
informed of their course eligibility. They are not given their UAENGL test
type (UAWP or UACH) or score (100, 101, 109, etc.) as we found that this
causes confusion. You might agree after reading the attached table J. 

 

Students can view their course eligibility in Next Steps Center (NSC), as
well as the Writing Placement web site (which they can only link to through
NSC). 

 

If writing placement isn’t finalized prior to the OOS pre-schedule run,
students won’t be pre-scheduled for English. This will happen if students
don’t take the exam by the evaluation deadline, OR if the data we need to
calculate a placement isn’t in the system. Because placements can be entered
into the system AFTER the pre-schedule runs, advisors can check a student’s
placement in UAccess  under Test Credits or Test Results. The attached table
will help you inform a student of his/her course eligibility.  

 

Students with English transfer credit can see the Math Coordinator during
OOS Orientation. Tina and Laurie graciously offered to assist as much as
possible, but will also forward names/SID’s to the Writing Program to take
care of first thing Monday morning. Thanks Tina and Laurie!

 

If you are attending OOS Orientations, happy travels!

 

Thank you,

Mónica De Soto Vega
