ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY FOR ASSIGNMENT OF GRADES

English Language Proficiency for Assignment of Grades

Each student granted admission to Western must be proficient in spoken and written English.

Students must demonstrate the ability to write clearly and correctly. Work presented in English in any subject, at any level, which shows a lack of proficiency in English and is, therefore, unacceptable for academic credit, will either be failed or, at the discretion of the instructor, returned to the student for revision to a literate level.

To foster competence in the use of the English language within their own discipline, all instructors will take proficiency in English into account in the assignment of grades. Also see ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY (Admission Requirements).
