The WEPT is a prerequisite for all Writing Intensive courses and should be taken after a student has completed English 225 and 45 credit hours. The WEPT is also a graduation requirement for all students. Those who fail the WEPT twice must take English 299; this course, which does not count towards the degree, will satisfy the WEPT requirement for students who earn a C- or better in the course.
The WEPT is given twice each fall and spring semester and once in the summer; the dates of
the test appear regularly on the Academic Calendar in the Schedule of Classes.
For additional information on the WEPT, such as frequently asked questions, how to prepare for the WEPT, and how to document and site sources, see the Department of English Web page. Other information about the WEPT can be found in the general requirements for the College's bachelor of arts, bachelor of science and bachelor of liberal arts degrees, as well as the
