Writing Requirement and Placement Testing
All entering students are required to take WRT 105 (Enhanced Introduction to College Writing) or WRT 110 (Introduction to College Writing), which are introductory courses in academic writing, unless exempt due to previous coursework. A score of 31 or higher on the Writing and Language portion of the SAT or 23 or higher on the English composite portion of the ACT is needed to enroll in WRT 110. Students with SAT Writing and Language scores below 31 or ACT English composite scores below 23 are required to take CCSU's Writing Placement Test, which will place them in WRT 110, WRT 105, or WRT 100 (Fundamentals of Composition).
