LANGUAGE
PROFICIENCY PROGRAM /
|
| The Language Proficiency Program (LPP) is coordinated by PASE which: (1) provides ENGL 3301 academic advising, (2) administers the University Writing Assessment (formerly the RJE), and (3) offers tutoring for university students through the Writing Center. All students will take the University Writing Assessment after completion of ENGL 1301 and 1302. This exam consists of writing an argumentative essay. |
| Students who do not pass the University Writing Assessment on their first attempt may retest after passing a sophomore literature class as stipulated in their degree plan. Those who do not pass the University Writing Assessment on the second try must take an additional sophomore literature class. If students have already completed twelve (12) semester hours of English, six (6) of which are sophomore literature, they must take ENGL 3301. These courses should be taken the next semester of their enrollment. |
| Students required to take ENGL 3301 must pass the University Writing Assessment in order to pass the course. These students must also satisfactorily complete all other requirements of the course to pass. Students who are not making a serious effort to fulfill these requirements will not be permitted to take the University Writing Assessment. Anyone enrolled in ENGL 3301 who fails the course will receive a grade of “NC” and will be required to repeat the course. |
| Students should consult the academic calendar listed in the catalog for test dates or contact the Department of Language and Literature or PASE for further information. |
| Students who have not passed the University Writing Assessment may not enroll in further course work toward graduation beyond 99 SCH applicable to the degree. Transfer students with 99 or more SCH applicable to the degree on their transcripts must meet the University Writing Assessment requirements within the first two semesters (or a long semester and preceding or succeeding summer) enrollment at the university. |
| Students who have already earned a Bachelor's degree (or higher) from an accredited institution before entering Texas A&M International University may petition the Chair of the Department of Language and Literature for exemption. |
