ENGL 001 English Proficiency Examination

Credit 0
The English Proficiency Examination (EPE), ENGL 001, is a two-hour persuasive essay examination required by the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to meet a University System of Maryland (USM) requirement to assure that all undergraduate students are able to write at an acceptable level. In order to graduate, every student who enrolls at the University for the first time, beginning Fall 1998, must pass the English Proficiency Examination. No student will be exempt. Since the EPE assesses the writing skills taught in ENGL 101  and ENGL 102 , it is given to registered ENGL 102  students during the ENGL 102  final exam period. Students who enter UMES with credit for ENGL 102  should register for the EPE the first semester/session after coming to the University, and they take it toward the end of the semester. The exam is given year-round: Spring and Fall semesters and Winter and Summer sessions. Grades are Satisfactory (“S”) or Unsatisfactory (“U”). Pre/Corequisite(s): “C” or better in ENGL 101  and “C” or better in ENGL 102  or current registration in ENGL 102
