Accordingly, ENGL 1101 or ENGL 1101P should normally be completed during the first year at ISU. ENGL 1102 should be completed by the conclusion of the second full year at ISU.  \nThe Write Class™ is the primary placement tool for Objective 1 courses, ENGL 1101, ENGL 1101P, and ENGL 1102. With the exception of students listed below, students must complete The Write Class at [isu.thewriteclass.org](isu.thewriteclass.org) ([https://](https://)[ ](https://)[isu.thewriteclass.org/](isu.thewriteclass.org/)) for placement into ENGL 1101, ENGL 1101P, and 1102.  \nSAT and ACT Scores, High School GPA, and GED:  \nPlease note: Although standardized test scores and high school GPA are considered as components of The Write Class™, SAT and ACT scores are no longer used for direct placement into ENGL 1101, 1101P, and 1102. High School GPA is also no longer used for placement into ENGL 1101, 1101P, and ENGL 1102. GED scores are also not used for placement in Objective 1 courses. Unless students meet one of the exceptions below, they will need to be placed into a composition course using The Write Class™ .  \nDual Enrollment and Early College Students:  \nStudents interested in taking ISU ENGL 1101 through the ISU dual enrollment and early college programs must use The Write Class™ to determine if they qualify for placement into ENGL 1101.  \nExceptions  \nSome specific groups of students do not need to take The Write Class™ . These exceptions are noted below.  \n1) International Students:  \nA. Those students who score below 8.0 on the IELTS or below 110 (iBT) on the TOEFL: These students will enroll in either ENGL 1122 or ENGL 1123 before moving on to ENGL 1101 or 1101P. Students must earn at least a C-in ENGL 1123 to advance into ENGL 1101 or 1101P. See additional information for ENGL 1122 and 1123 below.  \nB. Those students admitted to the university without IELTS or TOEFL scores, or without IEI completion: These students must consult the Chair, Department of English and Philosophy, for placement.  \n2) ISU Intensive English Institute (IEI) Students:  \nStudents with an average grade of B+ or lower in the final session of the Institute’s prescribed course of study: These students will enroll in either ENGL 1122 or ENGL 1123 before moving on to ENGL 1101 or 1101P. See specific placement information for ENGL 1122 and 1123 below.  \n3) Students who have completed ENGL 1101 or 1101P:  \nStudents who have completed ENGL 1101 or 1101P (or an equivalent course at another university) with a C-or better may enroll directly in ENGL 1102.  \n4) Students who have earned credit for ENGL 1101 through an Alternative Credit Opportunity ([http://coursecat.isu.edu/undergraduate/academicinformation/](http://coursecat.isu.edu/undergraduate/academicinformation/)[ ](http://coursecat.isu.edu/undergraduate/academicinformation/)[alternativecreditopportunities/](alternativecreditopportunities/)), such as Credit by Exam (AP, CLEP, International Baccalaureate).
