English Placement Exam (undergraduates only)
First year students and some transfer students whose first language is not English may be required to sit for the English Placement Exam (EPE). If you need to take the EPE, you will be enrolled in the ENG 101 course by your academic advisor.
This exam will take place in class during the first week of the fall semester (August 27-31).
The exam will determine if you will take the ENG 101 course in the fall semester. If you pass the exam, you will not need to take ENG 101 and you may remove it from your schedule. If the exam determines that you must stay in ENG 101, then you may choose to drop a different course from your schedule so that you are only registered for a total of 12 or more credits.
The exam will consist of two short-answer essay questions.
If you have specific questions about the EPE, please email Gwen Sandford at
