Frequently Asked Questions
In some cases, yes. In other cases, it's not advised. The best option if English is not your native language is to take the ESL placement test. It's possible to be placed directly into E101 on the basis of that test. If you are placed into English 121, 122, or 123, you probably need some writing and reading practice before taking English 101. However, once your teacher has seen a sample of your writing in class, she or he can talk to you about changing classes during the first week.
