How Do I Get to ENGL 1010?
The Department of English and Literature has established the following prerequisites for ENGL 1010:
- An ACT Test score of 19 on the English portion of the ACT Test.
OR
- A score of at least 80 on the Compass Writing Skills test (CWS) AND a score of at least 77 on the DRP Reading test. OR
- Completion of ENGH 0990 with grade of C- or better.
Successful completion of ENGH 0990 will prepare you for the writing half of the 1010 prerequisite. If your DRP score is below 77, you will also need to take CTRS 1170, a college textbook reading class offered by the College Success and Academic Literacy Department. See the GA advisor in LA 221p for more information.
The DRP Reading and Compass Writing skills test can be retaken in the Assessment Center (AD 002) once each semester by paying a fee.
Check with the Department of English and Literature (LA 114) for information about any challenge tests available for placement directly into ENGL 1010.
