Placement into the appropriate starting course in the sequence is determined by ACT English or SAT evidence-based reading and writing or high school GPA.  \nTo provide more opportunities to all students, ACT/SAT scores and/ or high school GPA older than two years are acceptable for English placement. Students who do not have ACT/SAT scores or a high school GPA will take Accuplacer Reading and Writeplacer. Students who have taken Accuplacer sentence skills, Writeplacer or reading comprehensive at another institution within two years of their initial start date may opt to transfer those scores to Kent State University.  \nKent Campus Students  \nAssessment Score Placement  \nACT English 0-25 ENG 11011  \nACT English 26+ ENG 21011  \nSAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing  \n200-590 ENG 11011  \nSAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing  \n600+ ENG 21011  \nAccuplacer and Writeplacer (challenge to ACT/SAT placement)  \n7+ ENG 21011  \nGED Reasoning Through Language Arts College Reading  \n165+ * ENG 11011  \nFinal high school GPA 2.8+ ENG 11011  \nRegional Campus Students  \nStudents admitted to a regional campus who do not meet the university readiness standards will be required to enroll in and earn a minimum C grade in ENG 01001 and a minimum C-grade in ENG 11002 (\"stretch\"sequence) before they can enroll in ENG 21011. Students who wish to challenge their writing placement into ENG 01001 and would like to try to place directly into ENG 11011 may do so using the Writing Placement Reassessment. Regional Campus students are given the option to enroll in those courses regardless of their older ACT/SAT or GPA.  \n\n| Assessment | Score | Placement |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| ACT English | 0-17 | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n| ACT English | 18-25 | ENG 11011 |\n| ACT English | 26+ | ENG 21011 |\n| ACT Reading and Writeplacer Next Generation | 0-19 and 4 | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n| ACT Reading and\u003Cbr>Writeplacer Next Generation | 20+ and 4 | ENG 11011 |\n| SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing | 200-470 | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n\nSAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing  \n480-590 ENG 11011  \n\n| SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing | 600+ | ENG 21011 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Accuplacer Next Generation Writing | 0-4 | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n| Accuplacer Next | 4 and 0-249 Accuplacer | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n| Generation Writing | Reading |  |\n| Accuplacer Next | 4 and 250+ Accuplacer | ENG 11011 |\n| Generation Writing | Reading |  |\n| Accuplacer Next Generation Writing | 5-6 | ENG 11011 |\n| Accuplacer Next Generation Writing | 7+ | ENG 21011 |\n| GED Reasoning Through Language Arts College Reading | 165+ * | ENG 11011 |\n| Final high school GPA | 0.0-2.79 | ENG 01001 and ENG 11002 |\n| Final high school GPA | 2.8+ | ENG 11011 |\n\n* Kent State University awards college credit for GED 175+ scores.  \nReason for Policy  \nA university English placement policy ensures that students begin their coursework at a level that matches their current knowledge and skills, which supports academic success and persistence. A clear placement policy also promotes equity and consistency by applying uniform standards across students and modalities, while allowing for multiple measures (e.g., test scores, prior coursework, GPA) to account for diverse educational backgrounds.  \nProcedures  \nThere are no procedures associated with this policy.  \nForms/Instructions  \nThere are no forms associated with this policy.  \nAdditional Resources  \n• Credit Transfer  \n• Destination Kent State  \n• Placement and Testing Services  \n• Placement Assessments  \n• Placement in Writing Courses  \n• Writing Placement Reassessment  \nFrequently Asked Questions  \n1.
