Attend our ELAR Summer Bridge Program!

August 6-8

Move into your assigned dorm room early and work with English faculty members to advance your writing skills and prepare for the upcoming semester for FREE! 

During the three days, you will get to know other incoming students while you work with our academic team to learn how to effectively write an essay. On the last day of the program, a score of 4-5 on your submitted written assignment will allow you to swap your TSI ENGL 1310 enrollment into a regular section and avoid taking TSIW 1300Z. 

Perks of the Program:

  • Opportunity to advance our of TSI section of ENGL 1310 and TSIW 1300Z. 
  • Move in Early! Avoid the crowds on move-in day by moving into your dorm on August 6. 
  • Learn what you need to know to write an essay. 
  • Get a head start preparing for ENGL 1310. 
  • Make new friends! 
TSI re-test option is offered as opportunity to meet TSI requirements. Completing Write Start alone does not meet TSI requirements.

 

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Incoming fall 2025 undergraduate student
  • TSIA 2.0 ELAR score of 940-944
  • Must have a TSIA 2.0 ELAR score on file with UNT
