All undergraduates intending to earn a degree from WSU must complete the Junior Writing Portfolio once they complete 60 semester credits. This applies to all undergraduate students, including transfer, Honors, and branch campus students. Students who started college at an accredited institute prior to the Fall of 1991 or students seeking a second bachelor’s degree are exempt from this requirement.
 
Visit the Writing Portfolio website at http://writingportfolio.wsu.edu for official submission guidelines.

As the information on the Writing Portfolio website indicates, the Writing Portfolio consists of the Packet and the Timed Writing. At WSU Tri-Cities, students generally do not need to make an appointment to take the Timed Writing. The library proctors these exams Monday-Thursday 1pm-9pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, and Saturday 10am-4pm. To take the Timed Writing, students need to check in at the reference desk and bring a picture ID, non-erasable blue or black ink pens, and they must know their WSU ID numbers. As students prepare to hand in their Packets, they can find the official envelopes (all the required forms and instructions come with the envelope) in the Student Bookstore. These required forms are also available to download online on the Writing Portfolio website.

Students can find out what rating their Writing Portfolios received by checking their MyWSU accounts, by contacting Kelly Erickson in Room 207F West, or by call the Writing Assessment Office at 509-335-7959. If the rating on a student’s portfolio indicates that the students need to take a one-credit writing tutorial (Gen Ed 302), the student should contact Kelly Erickson in Room 207F West to make arrangements for the course.

Students qualifying for accommodations should contact Disability Services Coordinator Cherish Tijerina at (509) 372-7352 for special arrangements prior to taking the Timed Writing.
