ENGLISH WRITING PLACEMENT

Understanding Writing Placement Codes in UAccess

What is a writing placement code?

A student’s writing placement code tells you which Foundations Writing course they have permission to register for (it’s the “requisite” for Foundations Writing courses). Often you will see multiple placement codes for a student; the most recent one is typically the valid one.

This guide contains information on the most common codes you’ll see in UAccess. I have not included some lesser-used codes which will only show up on rare occasions.

Where to look for a student’s placement

The Writing Program Placement team enters placements in the Test Results section of UAccess, so the best place to see accurate placement information is from the Admissions tab, under Test Results.

• The Test ID for a writing placement is “UAENGL.”
• The Test Component area will read “UAWP” (for an initial/first placement) and sometimes you will see “UACH” (indicating that a change has been made). You will rarely see “UACH” without an initial “UAWP.”
• The Test Score is the placement itself. 
  • The first part of the code corresponds to a Foundations Writing course
  • The second part of the code (the decimal) is used for internal purposes, indicating how a student got their placement
• The Test Date and Date Loaded will almost always be the same -- these indicate when the placement was recorded. We are in the process of updating the course requisites to ensure that the most recent UAENGL score will be the valid one for course registration (this is currently not always the case).

Interpreting Placement Codes

Common course codes

Since the first part of the code corresponds directly with a Foundations Writing course, these are fairly straightforward:

• 100 = ENGL 101A
• 101 = ENGL 101
• 107 = ENGL 107
• 106 = ENGL 106
• 108 = ENGL 108
• 102 = ENGL 102
• 109 = ENGL 109H

The decimal following the placement is mainly for internal purposes to help us keep track of how a student may have gotten their placement:

Common non-course codes

These are codes that don’t give permission to enroll in a course, but rather, communicate that the student has completed their Foundations Writing requirement with outside credit, a recognized general education certification (AGEC, IGETC, CSUGE), or a completed degree (BA, BS, MA, MS, etc.).

Second Language Placement Proficiency Equivalencies

ACQUIRING PROFICIENCY

The online placement exam is typically accessed via Next Steps Center and may only be used to determine the level of language coursework in which a student should begin at the UA. The online placement exam may not be used to satisfy the proficiency requirement in a student’s degree program.

The Proctored Language Proficiency Exam, available through the College of Humanities Instructional Computing unit will determine: a) a student’s level of proficiency in the language; and b) the level of language coursework in which a student may begin at the UA. Only the Proctored Language Proficiency Exam may be used to satisfy the proficiency requirement in a student’s degree program provided the result meets or exceeds the required level of proficiency. If a student has met their required level of second language proficiency via this exam, then this will automatically be noted on the student’s Advisement Report.

By taking the Online Second Language Placement Exam students received placement into one of our language courses at the University of Arizona. To graduate from the University students will need either a second, fourth, or sixth semester proficiency in a language depending on their degree program/major (BA/BFA/BS/BSBA). (Students can contact their major advisor for specifics about their degree requirements).

Proficiency can be obtained in one of the following ways:

1. Take the language they tested into, starting with the course they placed into, up to their requirement level.
2. Take any other language from first semester up to their requirement level.
3. Take the Language Proficiency Exam on campus for proficiency.  To schedule the exam go to http://advising.humanities.arizona.edu/language-proficiency-exam
4. Take the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) test to earn 4, 8, 12, or 16 units.

The Proctored Language Proficiency Exam is typically offered on a bi-weekly basis during the regular semesters. Students may schedule this exam at the following website:https://lppe.humanities.arizona.edu/

Proctored Proficiency exams for Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and Korean are done once at the beginning of Fall and Spring Semesters:

Italian: https://french.arizona.edu/undergraduate/placement-exams

Chinese/Japanese/Korean: https://eas.arizona.edu/information-placement-exam

Match the placement code (PR or PL) to the class that they placed into and should start with. The PL/PR denotes which exam was taken. 
PL = Placement Exam
PR = Proctored Proficiency Exam
