The WP003 is a writing assessment checkpoint that must be passed for graduation.  There is no fee for taking this assessment, but it is required for graduation.  Southeast wants to ensure that all students are maintaining their writing skills obtained in those initial composition courses.  Upon successful completion of EN140 (English Composition II/Rhetoric and Critical Thinking) and at least 75 credit hours, you may register for this assessment.  Be sure to click the CRN link on the class schedule to see which date the assessment is being offered.  New transfer students with more than 90 hours completed are waived from this assessment.

Scoring criteria, scoring scales and sample essays are available through the Writing Outcomes Web site.  If you do not pass the assessment, you must contact Writing Outcomes and ask to submit a portfolio as your second chance opportunity.  This portfolio option generally occurs over the duration of the semester with scheduled checkpoints.  However, most students pass the assessment without difficulty.

This assessment may be completed either online or at a campus convenient to you.  If you wish to take the assessment in person, you must bring two valid forms of identification - and you may register on open enrollment.  If you wish to take the online assessment, contact me to request registration.  You must be an online degree student to obtain approval for this section.  In the online version, you will be provided a particular 24 hour window in which to take the approximately 2 hour assessment.  Note: the online version is only offered once each fall and spring semesters.
