Online Writing Placement Policies

  1. You are responsible for writing your own paper. You must not have someone help you write the essay or write it for you. When you submit the essay, you will be required to write out the following statement:
    I hereby affirm that I did not discuss the reading or question for this essay with anyone. Furthermore, I affirm that no person helped me in planning, writing, revising, or editing this essay. I also affirm that, if I consulted any outside materials after looking at the reading or essay topic, I have cited the source of each external item or information or opinion.
  2. Students may write a placement essay only once.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You are submitting the essay as a Stony Brook University student. Any evidence of plagiarism, including assistance with writing the essay, will be reported as academic dishonesty and may be grounds for expulsion. For policies on responsible academic conduct, consult the Academic Judiciary Committee Home Page. Furthermore, outside help defeats the purpose of placement assessment. Incorrect placement will cost you time and money and will lower your chances of succeeding at Stony Brook.

If you have questions about the online placement essay or any aspect of the placement process, please contact Stony Brook’s Writing Placement Coordinator at 631.632.7390
