The Writing Competence Exam
Albion College believes that writing
proficiency is an important part of a liberal arts education. In order
to graduate from Albion, ALL students must pass the Writing Competence
Examination (WCE) unless they received a 4 or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
test in English.
The exam must be taken before the middle of the sophomore
year. Students who do not pass on their first attempt must try the
examination a second time before the end of their sophomore year.
For more information, see current
Academic Catalog
and WCE
FAQ.
The Writing Competence Exam is offered three times each semester (see
schedule).
