A small number of Pre-Bacc students who obtain low scores on the NTID Reading Test will be required to take the Level D Nonfiction Reading and Literature courses. It is also possible that some Pre-Bacc students will be recommended to take courses in the NTID English program 3. Students who take the LAPT under this procedure will be placed in the Liberal Arts writing sequence. Students who place into either Written Communication I or II and have an NTID Reading score of from 130-143 will be recommended to also take either the Level D Nonfiction Reading course or the Level D Literature course. Students admitted as NTID students who, upon entry, do not achieve the threshold scores described above can gain access to the LAPT by successfully completing courses in the NTID English program.
Course placement is dependent on placement test scores as described in paragraph D above.
This is a two-hour essay test on an assigned topic. Based on the LAPT score, a student is typically placed in one of three courses in the Liberal Arts writing sequence. Students who subsequently fail Academic Writing IV, however, will be required to re-take the course before entering the Liberal Arts writing sequence.
