Graduate Writing Examination Make-Up:
A timed pen-and-paper make-up examination will be offered in September after the start of classes only for students who were unable to take the Graduate Writing Exam over the summer.  Because the summer evaluation is a more accurate measure of a student's writing ability, students should take the make-up only if it is impossible for them to take the online summer examination.
