Writing Placement

Before you complete this section, view the short 4 minute instructional video "Writing Placement Instructions" to learn about the two different writing course options: IDIS 100 College Writing or Writing Intensive (WI).

Have you completed watching the "Writing Placement Instructions" Tutorial?*

You will choose between two (2) writing courses:

A writing intensive (WI) course, or
College Writing (IDIS 100)

Students should enroll in a Writing Intensive (WI) designated course if:

You do not need extra help with grammar, word choice, tone
You feel comfortable starting to write at the college level
You have experience using in-text citations, reading deeply, and doing research
GPA is above 3.5
English ACT score is above 23

Information about Writing Intensive (WI) courses:

Course description: These are courses across the curriculum, taught by professors across many disciplines. These courses have the common requirement of assigning a minimum of 3,000 words of polished writing, or the equivalent of 3-4 major writing projects, including at least one researched writing assignment. Students who enroll in a WI designated course are assumed to have confidence and competence in researched essay writing, persuasive writing, and the writing process. These classes are designed to help you acclimate to college-level writing.

Additional Details: A writing intensive course is four credits, and it fulfills the College Core requirement of taking a WI course within your first two years at SNC.

Students should enroll in IDIS 100 College Writing if:

You want specific help with grammar, word choice, tone
You want to get more focused practice writing at the college level
You want more practice using in-text citations, reading deeply, and doing research
GPA is below 3.5
English ACT score is 19-22 or below

Information about College Writing (IDIS 100):

Course description: This course is recommended for students who want an introductory college writing course that helps them develop their powers of written communication. Students learn about the composing process–planning, shaping, writing, revising, editing and proofreading–and how to apply this process to a series of college writing assignments. These assignments may include personal narratives, informational summaries, persuasive essays and documented research essays.

Additional Details: IDIS 100 is a course that is taken before enrolling in a WI designated course. It is a four-credit course that counts as one of your electives. If you are enrolled in IDIS 100, you will also need to enroll in a WI course after you successfully pass IDIS 100.
