Writing Skills Assessment Workshop
During the Winter quarter the Instructional Center offers a 6-week tutorial program that prepares students to take the Writing Skills Assessment (WSA). As part of the admission requirements all students are required to take the writing assessment, which is 35% of the admissions decision. Students who are interested in signing up for this workshop should stop by the Writing Center and speak with George Bauer.
BEOP Workshops
These sessions are collaboratively planned between counselors in the EOP Counseling Center and the Foster School. The primary objective is to help inform EOP students of the stages of preparation for applying to the Foster School. The workshops are designed to give students the information needed to complete a competitive application.
