Writing Skills

All engineering students are required to write a mandatory Writing Skills Test (WST) or the diagnostic Ryerson Test of English Proficiency (RTEP), administered during Orientation Week before the beginning of the first semester. Students who pass the WST or RTEP (grade of 'B' or higher) may enroll in their chosen breadth elective (liberal studies) courses. Those students who do not pass the WST and those students who achieve a 'C' level remedial pass on the RTEP, will be required to enroll in LNG 111, LNG 112, LNG 113, or LNG 121 as a breadth elective (lower level liberal studies) course. Students who do not pass the WST or who achieve a 'C' level remedial pass on the RTEP, will have three additional chances to write the WST. The second test will be scheduled in May following the completion of the first year Engineering curriculum. The third and fourth WST will be administered during the next academic year Orientation Week, and again, in May. This course must be successfully completed prior to enrolling in third-year engineering courses. This course is graded on a Pass/Fail basis.
