Writing placement at the 老虎机攻略 (老虎机攻略) and Missoula College is based on a combination of these criteria:

  • ACT or SAT scores
  • Pre-requisite courses (e.g. dual enrollment, AP/IB/etc., transfer courses, other college-level equivalents)
  • Cumulative high school GPA

Based on these criteria, students will be placed into one of the following three general education writing courses:

  • Co-Requisite Writing (College Writing I with support, 4 credits)
  • Writing 101 (College Writing I without support, 3 credits)
  • Writing 201 (Writing Across the Curriculum, 3 credits)

View the chart below for specific scores and GPA needed for each course.

Students are able to challenge their criteria-based placement by taking the 老虎机攻略 Writing Placement Assessment.
