I selected a course, but I’m not really sure it is the right course for me. What should I do?

Contact writingplacement@arizona.edu and we'll help you figure this out.

I don’t have my official AP/IB exam scores yet, but I want to take WRIT 109H.

Anybody can choose to take WRIT 109H, so even if you don’t have/know your scores, you can take this course. Contact us at writingplacement@arizona.edu if you want to change your course selection.

I reported non-Arizona dual enrollment coursework. What happens next?

A Writing Placement Advisor will contact you - via your university email - to let you know if the course(s) you reported can satisfy our Foundations Writing requirement(s). Make sure you check your university email regularly!

I have an English exam (AP/IB/CLEP) that is eligible for WRIT 101 credit. What should I do?

Have your official scores sent to the University of Arizona Registrar.

My status is “In Review.” How long will it take for my iFWE to be reviewed and I receive my final placement?

Writing Placement Advisors review iFWE responses as we receive them, but because two advisors must review your response before a final placement is determined, it could take up to two weeks for your placement to be updated.

Note: Due to system updates, we do not actively review iFWE responses from September through November and February through April.

I have taken an AP/IB exam. Can I receive Foundations Writing credit for my exam score?

The university accepts Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature and Composition or English Language and Composition exams (score 4 or 5), OR IB English (Language and Literature) Higher Level exams (score 5 or higher), for WRIT 101 credit.

For all other inquiries, please contact the Writing Placement Office (writingplacement@arizona.edu).
