March Start Date - WRIT Assessment

March 2020 start date

Welcome!

This is where you can find all of the information about the WRIT Placement Assessment if you are starting your program in March.

What is the WRIT Placement Assessment?

Most first-level students at Fanshawe College must take a Placement Assessment for the WRIT course.  The evaluation of these assessment results allows us to assess your current writing skills and place you in the appropriate course.

 

If you have written the WRIT Assessment before, please contact the School of Language and Liberal Studies for advice on how your previous Assessment affects your current program. Contact information is available on the WRIT Contacts page.

 

Important assessment information

You must write this assessment before the start of classes. 

This assessment will not affect your acceptance into the program. 

The assessment session is 50 mins.

Choose one (1) date only to sit the WRIT assessment. 

The earlier you write the assessment, the faster we can process your results.
