Welcome to the Homepage for the UW-P Freshman Composition Program in the English Department. To receive their undergraduate degrees, all UW-P students must pass English 101 with a grade of C- or better, pass an accepted equivalent at another college or university, or receive a placement test score that places them out of the course.

Based on their placement test scores, entering first-year students are either placed out of English 101, or put in one of the following courses:

• ACSK 090 (Composition Preparation) is a remedial course that does not count towards graduation, although the course grade does affect the student's GPA. This course is taught by the Learning Assistance Center. See their website for details.
• English 100 (Fundamentals of English)
• English 101 (Composition and Reading)
