Written English Proficiency Test (WEPT)

Candidates for all baccalaureate degrees must pass the UMKC Written English Proficiency Test before enrolling in required junior-level writing or writing intensive courses. Students who register for the required junior-level course without first passing the WEPT may be removed from enrollment or may not receive credit for 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 (www.umkc.edu/registrar/acal.asp). Notification also is posted and announced each semester prior to the test's administration. Students who wish to take the test must register and obtain preparatory materials from the English Department a few days prior to each test administration.

Students should take the test after completing the second required English composition course and after completing 45 hours of credit. Students who have not completed 45 hours will not be allowed to take the test.
