<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Our recommendation: complete the test in June:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> June 21<sup>st</sup> – 10am or 5pm<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Completing the WPP will ensure your placement information will be available when you register for fall quarter classes during the Second Phase Registration session. Early testing
<u>reduces</u> the chance you will need to modify your fall schedule later in the summer to take account of your placement information.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Entry-Level Writing Requirement and the WPP diagnostic essay exam have nothing to do with admission to UCR. We are writing to you
