ENG 101L - Developmental Writing Lab

Depending on initial placement, all degree-seeking students admitted to the college must register during their first semester either in Writing and Rhetoric (ENG 101), along with the Developmental Writing Lab (ENG 101L), if required, or Rhetoric and Literature (ENG 102), the core writing sequence in English language studies. In each ensuing semester, students must advance to the next course in sequence until completing ENG 101 and 102 with proficiency grades of A, B, or C. Students failing to earn a proficiency grade in ENG 101 or 102 must repeatthe course in the next ensuing semester without interruption until course credit is earned for all courses in sequence.

Earning the grade A, B, or C in ENG 101 or 102 suffices for academic credit and entitles the student to advance to the next class in the core English sequence. Students who attend a minimum of three fourths of class sessions and submit at least 75% of the course’s major writing assignments who are failing to achieve such proficiency will receive a Y grade, which carries no grade point penalty and denotes that a credit grade has been deferred for one semester. Students receiving a Y may not count the course toward athletic eligibility and must repeat the course in the next ensuing semester until credit is earned. Students who receive a grade of D or F in these classes will be required to repeat the course.Any student adjudged an offender under the College’s “Academic Integrity” policy for an offense committed in any such class, and who thereby earns an F in the class, either by grade average or through application of the policy, will receive such F instead of the Y otherwise available.
