Important Reminders

English Placement Test on January 19

If you are from a country where English isn't the dominant language and you are a first-year student or a transfer student who hasn't earned composition credit, and you have not previously been tested, you will need to take a writing test online on January 19. This test will help English Department to determine which English writing class is best for you. Students will receive an email with detailed instructions. Please watch for it!

Undergraduate students must complete the advising and registration Canvas modules in order to meet with an academic advisor and register for classes. Please complete these modules now if you have not done so already.
