The writing sample is read by various English instructors and give a pass or fail rating. The paper must be passed by two out of three readers. If the first paper does not pass the second paper will be read. Students who may possibly meet both of the above requirements should sign up for re-testing on rolls circulated in class near the end of the semester. Students who cannot be contacted or who do not re-test as scheduled must repeat the course.
LS students have three attempts to exit each sequence, no matter where they place.
Attempts do not count before Fall 1986. If granted the additional attempt, the student may enroll in only the LS course involved. Students should be cautioned that attempts accumulate within Regents institutions. That is, attempts at GPC are added to the attempts from other Regents institutions. This course is designed to promote student success in college.
