Exemptions & AP Credit
Advanced Placement Information
Because clear expression in writing characterizes an educated adult, the college requires all first-year students
to take Writing 111: The Writing Seminar, unless they earn an exemption.
AP Exemption with Credit
Students may be exempted from the Writing Seminar with credit by one of three means:
- Achieving a 5 on the AP test in Language & Composition.
- Achieving a score of 6 or 7 on the International Baccalaureate exam for English, Higher Level. No credit or exemption will be awarded for the Subsidiary Level Test.
- Achieving a C+ or higher in an equivalent course at another accredited college or university, provided that the course was taught by regular college faculty on the college campus to enrolled college students. We do not accept college “dual-enrollment” or “concurrent” courses, or courses taken during summer school.
