JSU:

THE ENGLISH COMPETENCY EXAM

Administered by

THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

REQUIREMENTS
Students who have completed English 101 and English 102 and a total of 60 hours are eligible. A wise student will not postpone taking the examination, since waiting until late in one's college career to take the examination may delay graduation. Students must take and pass the exam NO LATER than the semester BEFORE they plan to apply for graduation.

Eligible students must register online between January 30 and February 20, 2008

(Absolutely no late registration!)

The English Competency Exam will be the only class available for registration at this time of the semester. The course number is 001. You will be given an option of registering for a Tuesday 6:00 p.m. class, or a Wednesday 3:00 p.m. class. The room number to which you will be assigned in Stone Center can also be viewed here.

Add the class on the day you choose to take the exam. Then select "Register" at the bottom of the page. If for some reason you register for the wrong date or decide later that you want to change the exam date, you can go back in and drop that date and add the other date. ALL CHANGES MUST BE MADE DURING THE REGISTRATION PERIOD. Once the registration period ends, there can be no changes, nor late registration. The rosters are finalized at the end of registration.

At the completion of the grading of the ECE, you can find your grade listed in your Student Academic Transcript in your my.jsu.edu account. Distance Learning students should register by contacting the Director of the ECE, Susan Sellers, at ssellers@jsu.edu once they have verified their eligibility with their Distance Learning advisor. (To be eligible for the Distance Learning ECE through Blackboard, the student must take one hundred percent of his or her classes on-line.)
