Writing Proficiency Exam Schedule

On this page are the schedules for the Fall 2024 Electronic Writing Assessment (EWRAP) and October 2024 Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE).

Students planning to graduate by December 2024 must pass the October WPE; no other WPE or EWRAP offering will be graded in time. 


Fall 2024 EWRAP and EWRAP-2: (electronic submission) 

  • Students who qualify to participate will be contacted by email, and detailed instructions will be available in a Blackboard course shell.
  • Fall 2024 EWRAP is only available to students enrolled in an intermediate seminar (a 200G course) in summer 2024 or fall 2024.
  • Fall 2024 EWRAP-2 is only available to students enrolled in CRW 282 (by department consent) in fall 2024.  If you wish to take CRW 282 in a future semester, contact writing.proficiency@umb.edu. Requests to enroll are considered on a first come, first served basis beginning on the first day of registration. Once the class is full, students will be placed on a waitlist and will be enrolled automatically only if another student drops and a space becomes available. No permission numbers are given for CRW 282.
