If you are in Reading Level 2 and Writing Level 3, you may enroll in ENG 111A at the same time as ENG 097.
If you are in Reading Level 2 and Writing Level 4, you may enroll in ENG 111 at the same time as ENG 097. If you do not pass ENG 097, you will remain in Reading Level 2 and this will prevent you from being able to take ENG 112 as well as some other courses.
