A two hour proctored timed writing opportunity is offered in the fall and spring semesters and a minimum of four handwritten pages must be submitted in response to an open-ended question chosen in advance by the student, designating their work by student identification number as well (in-class writing sample). In each sample, the fourth page must have written commentary that is at or exceeds the center of the fourth page to meet the minimum length standard. Full-time faculty assess the two submissions, give a numerical designation, and the combined total either passes or fails. After a second failure to pass the writing competency requirement, a student must enroll in ENGL 210, consult the Communication Studies Department Chair and
