Any student entering GSW who does not meet one of exemption criteria for English or Mathematics, will be enrolled in the appropriate Co-Requisite Learning Support Course every term until he or she passes the companion college level course.

Students meeting any of the criteria listed below may enroll in ENGL 1101 without the co-requisite Learning Support course, ENGL 0999:

• Student already has credit for an Area A English course (must meet the minimum grade requirement for the course for the institution – which may be a “C” or higher).
• Student has an English Placement Index of 4230 or higher.*
• Student has a final high school GPA (HSGPA – this is the same HSGPA that is used in calculation of the Freshman Index) of 2.7 or higher and has completed the Required High School Curriculum (RHSC) in English.
• Student has an ACT English score of 17 or higher.
• Student has an SAT Verbal/Critical Reading score of 430 or higher on the “old” SAT.
• Student has an SAT Reading test score of 24 or higher on the “new” SAT.

• Student has an Accuplacer Next-Generation Reading score of 237** or higher AND an Accuplacer WritePlacer score of 4 or higher.

ENGL 0999 Co-Requisite Support for ENGL 1101 Composition I
Co-Requisite Support for English 1101 is a course designed to offer individual and group support for students identified as needing supplemental instruction in the areas of reading and writing. Course content will parallel essential skills needed to be successful in English 1101. This course carries institutional credit and will not count toward graduation. This course must be taken with ENGL 1101 until ENGL 1101 is passes with a Grade of C or better. Co-Requisite: ENGL 1101 Composition I (2-0-1).

Note that MATH 1111 has higher placement and exemption criteria than MATH 1001 or MATH 1401. If students enroll in programs that do not require a mathematics course, but they
choose to take a mathematics course, standard assessment and placement rules will apply.
