There are two possibilities for placement in first-year writing courses: general (WRA 101) or honors (WRA 195H). Most incoming students should take WRA 101: Writing as Inquiry. Students in the Honors College should take WRA 195H (the honors version of WRA 101). The Directed Self-Placement Exam and WRA 1004/0102 will not be offered in 2024-2025.
Students that have AP English exam credits can waive and receive credit for WRA 101 in some circumstances (see details regarding writing AP credits at https://wrac.msu.edu/placement/).
