Conferences are provided for individualized instruction. Placement is initially based upon Accuplacer score of 110 and above and accompanied by a first day, in-class writing sample administered and assessed by Honors Comp faculty. At the faculty’s discretion, a student who doesn’t perform satisfactorily on the in-class writing may be recommended to withdraw from Honors English Composition I and be placed into English Comp I.
