This is what the UCR catalogue says

Students also have an opportunity to pass the requirement in UCR’s summer
sessions by passing ENGL 004 or ENGL 005 before they become full-time
students in the fall. They can also take a pre-ENGL 001A class during the
summer at a local college or university before they become full-time students
at UCR. Students taking summer courses not at UCR can then retake the
UC Analytical Writing Placement Exam at UCR at the end of the summer.
Students who have not met the requirement upon entrance to UCR are
placed into one of the following UCR courses of instruction. Placement in
these courses is determined by the Director of Entry Level Writing and is
based on the student’s performance on the UC Analytical Writing
Placement Exam.
1. BSWT 003 (an ESL course preparatory to ENGL 004)
2. ENGL 004
3. ENGL 005
4. A qualifier course plus ENGL 006D

Then no one will suspect you didn't pass the english exam when you enter UCR =)

^thanks so much for the info! but i checked local community colleges and such.. & most of thei rclasses started already... -____-

[barbiedemo]

We can also take English and Math at Summer Bridge to meet the English and Math requirements too, right?

[SHARK]

That's what everyone has been telling me, that you can take Math and English at Summer Bridge.

Apparently there's a session 2 where most of you can take it at.

Hello folks, welcome to UC Riverside. Make the best of it .

Those who didn't pass the English exam.

You will be informed of placement into the English class 003,004,005. Depending on the level of FAIL of your placement.

You have the option of taking it via summer bridge or during the regular class sessions. Beyond that, you need to pass 005 (since 003,004->005) within one year. To be more specific, you have a year to pass 003, a year to pass 004, a year to pass 005. Therefore, if you start with 003 you have 3 years to finish 005.

It isn't particular bad that you failed the English exam, people fail. I failed lol. Anyhow, I suggest you don't worry, you'll catch up soon enough .

Though, the University policy is that if you don't fulfill the English requirements within a year (well like I said above) , you will be kicked out >>. Hey, if you speak english, don't worry

------------
Other notes:

7.4% Fee increase last year hurts, but financial aid rocks.

Those who register in July, don't worry if you don't get your classes. Wait. Wait till people don't pay and drop the class MUHAHAHA.

All, I have to say is, DORM FOOD SUCKS. Look forward to that. Weather sucks to haha.

Any other questions?

[dragon555]

How long is each class,English 03, 04, and 05. Are each of those english classes one quarter long or one year long?

[xWindwalkerx]

One quarter, all classes are one quarter. But, there are series of class i.e 005a, 005b, 005c. Each one is one quarter.

So basically 003 is one quarter, 004 is another, 005 is another quarter.

[dragon555]

how can i sign up for summer school? Can I still sign up? Do I have to write an application, because I am an incoming freshman, or can I just go to GROWL?

[xWindwalkerx]

I don't believe you'll be able to apply for summer school, registration is already closed.

However, you should be able to take summer bridge. Ask during orientation or call them.

[dragon555]

Does anybody know when registration for summer bridge will open. I think their website is under construction. I sent an interest form to them; the interest form said that they will contact me, but they haven't. Will somebody help me.

btw

You have satisfied the ELWR by receiving a passing score on your SAT exam. You are eligible to enroll in English 001A.

that's what it says for me. is english 001A the lowest english class? or did people who took the placement test and passed get placed into higher english classes?

[xWindwalkerx]

The highest you can get placed in is 001B, buts that only through AP I believe.

You should fine anyhow..

One question about the MAE:

Are we allowed to use calculator during the test?

also is anyone taking MAE this sunday 12:30 - 3 ?

[jinnyblue]

They don't allow one, since the questions aren't impossible to do without a calculator.

[patthepenguin]

btw


that's what it says for me. is english 001A the lowest english class? or did people who took the placement test and passed get placed into higher english classes?

engl001a is not the lowest english class. there are some people who don't pass the placement test and are placed into engl4 or engl5 i believe. those classes are the bASIC BASIC english classes.

also, when i took engl001c, there was someone in my class who did so well on the placement test that this was the first and only english class he had to take. but i'm assuming that most students get placed into 1a so it's normal.

engl001a = beginner composition
engl001b = intermediate composition
engl001c = applied intermediate composition

after taking these 3 classes, you're all done! it'll take a year if you do them consecutively for 3 quarters.

beware of some english teachers, they are VERY hard.

hope that helped

English 1A is the starting english class for all incoming freshmen. it is not the lowest english class. the lowest english class is bswt 3 which is basic writing 3.

You won't need a calculator.

It's not that the questions aren't impossible without one, you CAN'T use them.

Alot of questions are factoring or precalculus, and alot of those don't allow you to use a calculator of any sort.
