Writing Placement
Students will be placed into the appropriate level of writing class (94-701 Business Writing or 95-717 Writing for Information Systems Management). Students will not be notified of their writing placement, but may view their schedule to determine the placement. If you would like to attempt an exemption of the course you are placed in, an exemption exam will be offered during Orientation. Registration is required for this exam and must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 23, 2021. For details on registering for the exemption exam, CLICK HERE.
Exemption
Object Oriented Programming in JAVA
The Java (95712) exemption exam has been eliminated due to the low success rate (6 students passed the exam out of the 380 students who sat for the exam). This process has proven cumbersome and an inefficient use of students and faculty time during an already stressful time for everyone.
The decision was made to discontinue the exemption exam. In its place, students are welcome to petition for an exemption from the Java course rather than sit for an exam. In order to submit the petition, please note the following will be considered as part of the decision process (a combination of the following factors):
- Undergraduate major
- Number of Java courses taken
- Work experience (ideally as a software/Java developer)
For more details, the Heinz College Student Handbook outlines the petition process in section 6.6. And this process will be covered in the Program Director’s session during orientation week in August.
