First-year students are placed in ENL101: Effective Writing I or ENL111: Effective Writing II, which is determined by high school English grades. However, we understand that grades do not always reflect a student\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n
If you were placed in Effective Writing I, but feel that Effective Writing II is a better fit for you, you can take a writing placement test. Transfer students are automatically placed into ENL111: Effective Writing II. All students must take Effective Writing II unless they transfer in the college level equivalent<\/strong> via coursework<\/a> or placement by official exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please email advising@augsburg.edu<\/a> to register for the Writing Placement Test.<\/strong><\/p>\n How long do I have to complete the writing placement test?<\/strong> How is the placement test structured?<\/strong>Placement Test Instructions<\/h2>\n
