Writing Across the CurriculumThe USM Undergraduate Catalog states, “Every Baccalaureate degree student who is admitted to the University must produce evidence (no credit granted) of…a minimum writing proficiency....All newly admitted baccalaureate and associate degree students with…an SAT Writing score below 550 must take placement examinations. Transfer and readmitted students with 30 or more earned credits are not required to take the English placement examination.” The English Proficiency requirement may thus be satisfied prior to enrolling at USM (with SAT Writing score of 550 or above) or concurrent with matriculation (by passing USM’s English Placement Examination). The requirement may also be met by satisfactory completion of ENG 009A (or for non-native speakers of English, ESL 104A). ENG 009A is offered through the Department of Learning Foundations, a unit within the Division of Advising and Academic Resources. Learning Foundations also offers students tutorial assistance by trained peer tutors at two campus learning centers and regularly offers academic skills workshops. For more information, see http://www.usm.maine.edu/lap/
Students must meet the English Proficiency requirement before
registering for an English Composition course.
