CWRTE

The Critical Writing Reading Thinking Exam, or "CWRTE" is required for all TU undergraduate students.  The exam is designed to identify students who would benefit from a course, REA 111 or REA 311, designed to help students meet the reading, writing, and thinking expectations of upper division college classes.

The CWRTE should be taken as soon as possible after completing ENG102. Students will not be permitted to register for more than 30 upper division credit hours until they have successfully completed the CWRTE.

Transfer students who took ENG102 at their prior institution should take the CWRTE before their first semester at TU.  A grace period of the first two weeks at TU can be offered if necessary.  Students who do not comply with this enrollment requirement will be enrolled in the online, one-credit hour course, REA111.  Please note, students do not have to pass the CWRTE before their first semester, but they must attempt the CWRTE.

The CWRTE must be taken in a proctored setting on campus or at a remote testing center.  Students are responsible for any fee associated with the proctoring of an exam. Average fees range from $20 - $50 per exam.

If you would like assistance in preparing for this exam, you may set up an online or face-to-face appointment in the Academic Resource Center (ARC). To schedule this appointment, simply contact the ARC at arc@thomasu.edu.
