MANDATORY PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT FOR WRIT (WRITING) COURSE BUSINESS We are pleased that you have selected Fanshawe College. Our WRIT placement assessment is important to your success. Doing your best will ensure proper assessment of your skills to help you succeed in college and the workplace. Please refer to the FAQ online for more details at: www.fanshawec.ca/WRIT or e-mail us at: writ@fanshawec.ca WHAT IS THE WRIT PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT? All first-level Business, Business-Accounting, Business Foundations, Business-Human Resources, Business-Insurance, Business-Marketing, BusinessPurchasing, and Financial Planning Services students must take a Placement Assessment for the WRIT course. The evaluation of these assessment results allows us to assess your current skills and place you in the appropriate course. If you have written the WRIT Assessment before this fall, please contact the School of Language and Liberal Studies for advice on how your previous Assessment affects your current program. Contact information is available in the FAQ – see above.

You do not need to make an appointment. If you live a great distance from the College, consider writing this assessment when you come to London to make arrangements for housing, a campus tour, etc. Come early to avoid last-minute crowds.
