Students for whom English is the native language are placed into their first term of writing based on SAT or ACT scores:

Students for whom English is not a native language can consult The American English Institute (AEI) for more detailed information about placement in writing courses. AEI places students in oral skills, reading, and writing courses according to Accuplacer placement tests administered by the UO Testing Center. These tests are offered during registration, and students can contact the AEI office for times and locations. AEI offers courses in oral skills (AEIS 101 and 102), reading (AEIS 107) and writing (AEIS 110, 111 and 112) to prepare students for academic writing at the university level. Students are strongly advised to complete the AEIS courses before taking WR 121.
