| What is Directed Self-Placement? |
| What is Directed Self-Placement? |
Directed Self-Placement is in use at a number of colleges and universities across the country, including UTC. Your Directed Self-Placement begins by familiarizing yourself with our courses and examining your writing and reading practices through self-analysis. You will then learn the detailed expectations of each course and make a selection based on your ability to meet those expectations. PLEASE NOTE: Once you have decided which course is best for you, please remember your choice because you will be asked for it as you complete your Academic Interest Questionnaire (AIQ). Please read all the information carefully before making your choice. We suggest that you consult with your high school counselor, teachers, parents, and others who are familiar with your writing and your study habits before making your final placement decision. After reading the DSP information thoroughly, if you have any questions, please email or call the English office at (423) 425-5232. Please accept our best wishes for a productive and enjoyable experience in your first year classes. If you already have credit for English 1006, 1010 and/or 1020, visit http://www.utc.edu/Academic/DirectedSelfPlacement/credit.php To begin your Directed Self-Placement, visit http://www.utc.edu/Academic/DirectedSelfPlacement/Coursedetails.php

Academic Interest Questionnaire (AIQ) To help us determine the appropriate courses, we want to know more about you – about your high school experiences and about your expectations and plans for your college experience at UTC. We will do our best to register you for classes based on your answers to the AIQ. The schedule created for you will provide a strong start for your academic journey and will put you on the right path to academic success. You will be given a copy of your Fall schedule at Orientation where you will have the opportunity to speak with an experienced academic advisor about your schedule and make any necessary changes.
