The Center for Writing Excellence offers students the opportunity to exempt themselves from first year and junior composition course requirements through an exemption exam. Both exams are two-hour timed essays based on a provided text. Exams are offered once each quarter, typically the first Saturday after the first week of the quarter and scored holistically by at least two experienced Ohio University writing instructors. Students may take each exam only one time.
The next Freshman and Junior Composition Exemption Exams will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2009. Students must be pre-registered in order to take either exam. Registration is free but occurs in the first week of the quarter in the Department of English, 360 Ellis Hall.
