Subject: [oac] June 2 Writing Placements

Hello Orientation Team!

Writing Placement Advisors did not see many students in yesterday's orientation even though nearly 300 students received temporary writing placements, so PLEASE review this information before advising students tomorrow.

The attached list is for tomorrow's orientation. Please note that the list may contain students who have cancelled their admission (I run this orientation list from Query Viewer and it doesn't, as of yet, contain a column for status).

  *   The students who did not complete the FWE in time and received temporary placements have placements listed in the column "Temporary placement" and highlighted in yellow.
  *   These are often the students who most need to come talk to a Writing Placement Advisor (especially if they want to change/update the temporary placement or have dual enrollment/English exams to report), so please take note of those in your college and SEND THEM TO US!
  *   Writing Placement Advising takes place during Registration Assistance<https://arizona.zoom.us/j/85946409786> (we are available from 2:30-4:30).
Students who receive a temporary placement are also strongly encouraged to participate in the following free opportunity:

Wildcat LEAP Writing Workshop, July 10-July 28 (online, asynchronous)
The Writing Program is partnering with the Office of Undergraduate Education to offer a 3-week workshop that provides participants opportunities to:

  *   better understand the Foundations Writing courses;
  *   get a jump start on learning key terminology as well as reading and writing practices;
  *   work with an academic skills coach; and
  *   collaborate on determining the best writing course for them. In writing, course fit is the key to a better experience.

Registration is now open<https://undergraduate.arizona.edu/engaged-learning/summer-program-leap> and will close at least one week prior to the start of each respective program option. Early registration is encouraged as seats are limited.

The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university's core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be proactive in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.
