If you are interested in taking credit classes, you may take the English Writing Placement
(EWP). The EWP determines your credit English placement. If you complete Levels 4
to 6 or the VESL program and pass, you may progress into AMLA classes without taking
the EWP. If you are thinking about transferring to credit, it is a good idea to make
an appointment with the ESL Counselor!
