The University of Mary is committed to ensuring its students develop into successful and capable writers, in order to prepare them not only for advanced academic writing in university courses, but for successful careers after the completion of their undergraduate degrees. To this end, the university offers a sequence of up to three composition courses to allow students to build their writing skills over time.
ENG 098 - Writing in Sentences and Paragraphs
ENG 111 - Composition I
ENG 121 - Composition II
Incoming students are placed into the appropriate entry-level composition course based on their previous academic experience and ACT/SAT performance in the area of English composition and reading. Students must complete the sequence by working through these courses in order. The sequence is complete once the student has successfully completed ENG 121.
Placement for Composition Courses
Notes:
- ENG 098 is a remedial course. Credits for this course therefore do not fulfill the Liberal Arts Core or English composition requirements, but can be applied toward total credits earned toward the degree. A minimum grade of “C” or better is required in ENG 098 in order to advance to ENG 111.
- ENG 111 can be applied toward Liberal Arts Core elective credits, but cannot be used to fill the composition requirement for the core. A minimum grade of “C” or better is required in ENG 111 in order to advance to ENG 121.

An official record of the student’s test score in CREAM/CLEM must be requested by the student and sent to University of Mary Admissions Office by the officiating school or the test vendor, Pearson, to receive consideration. Upon receipt, the Office of Admissions shall forward these results to the English department for a recommendation on course placement, which shall be added to the student’s file for registration purposes.
All relevant continuations and notes based on ACT/SAT scores apply to students who are placed in an English course based on their CREAM/CLEM results.
