New Advisement Workshop: The WRITE Placement - Ensuring Effective English Placement for MCC Advisees


A New Advisement Workshop has been added, please see description below:

Not sure which English course to suggest to your advisees?  Uncertain about what an AP score or Regents score might mean in regard to student readiness for composition and/or literature courses? How should you advise the student who wants to enroll in English 101 but has failed it twice in the past? What about the student for whom English is a second-language? Or, would you simply like more clarification about the recent changes in TRS, ESL, and ENG placement?

In this ADV workshop, Composition Coordinator, Dr. Elizabeth Johnston, will explain the various pathways to English 101, provide an overview of the new TRS and ENG redesign and prerequisite system, and discuss a variety of support systems advisors can recommend to struggling readers and writers.  She will also highlight some of the exciting upcoming English, ESOL, and REA pilots designed to increase student success and retention.

This workshop will be presented on Thursday, November 21st, from 2:00 p.m.– 3:00 p.m.  Please contact Michele Vitale (HYPERLINK "mailto:mvitale@monroecc.edu") for registration.
