New Policies for the CWE

Beginning in the summer of 2010, there will be a new process for taking the CWE on the Paterson campus of PCCC. Rather than registering, students will take the test on a walk-in basis. The Testing Department will offer the exam on a variety of dates each month, over a length of time. Students can show up on the date and time most convenient for them, with no registration required. They will still need to bring a photo ID to be allowed to take the test, however. Evening test times are limited to 5 seats per session, on a first come, first served basis, so it's best to show up early!

Other policies remain the same. Students who have failed the exam in the past must come to the Writing Center before retaking it.

Students may take one exam per month each. All exams will be scored after the last date of the exam. Results will take 2-4 weeks after the final test date in a given month. Results are both emailed and mailed to students, as well as being posted on their degree audits.

The exam will be given in room E215, and takes 2 hours.

These are the dates available for summer:
