Placements in Seminars
Below you will find links to a letter that explains the placement process for writing seminars, instructions for the placement essay, the online seminar preference and essay submission form, and a list of writing seminars being offered. (The essay you're to write on is linked within the "Placement Essay Instructions.") Preferences and your own essay are due August 6. We look forward to hearing from you.
When assigning students to sections, the Writing Program will consider several factors: your own appraisal of your writing competency; your preferences for particular courses; SAT verbal and SAT II Writing scores; and the placement essay. We will inform you of your placement during the week you arrive on campus.
