Examination (AWPE) on May 10 to students who have been admitted to the
university for fall 2014 and who, by April 1, have not satisfied the Entry

English A examination. Students also are exempt from the examination if they
have successfully completed a transferable college-level English composition
course.

Requirement and the Analytical Writing Placement Examination is available online
