Washington University in St. Louis
English Language Program
Fall 2012 Testing Schedule
Incoming undergraduate students: See the Writing 1 web site for information about the Washington University Writing Placement Exam.
Incoming graduate students: To ensure your success during your academic career at WUSTL, your department/school may request that you take one or more English language proficiency exams. A letter sent with your visa documents indicates which exam, if any, your school/department requires you to take. As a follow-up to the TOEFL or other standardized English proficiency tests you may already have taken, the ELP's English proficiency exams will determine whether you need further English language support in order to fully engage with your academic program and the university community. Your department/school may require you to follow any ELP course recommendations that result from your performance on the exam(s).
Please plan on taking your required exams as soon as possible after your arrival in St. Louis so that if ELP coursework is recommended for you, you can speak with your advisor about fitting that coursework into your schedule and get answers to any questions that you have about ELP course recommendations.
