Writing Competency
All students will demonstrate writing competence by successful performance on a writing assessment. Those who take the core writing courses at Northwest (ENGL 10111 and ENGL 10112, or ENGL 10115) will take the assessment near the end of the sequence. Transfer students who have not completed the core writing courses at Northwest and have not passed an approved assessment at another school will complete the writing assessment at the same time as students taking core courses ENGL 10112 or ENGL 10115. Information about assessment procedures and retake options may be obtained from the Department of Language, Literature, and Writing office.
