• Fall 2026 EWRAP is only available to students enrolled in an intermediate seminar (a 200G course) in summer 2026 or fall 2026.
• Fall 2026 EWRAP-2 is only available to students enrolled in CRW 282 (by department consent) in fall 2026.  If you wish to take CRW 282 in a future semester, contact writing.proficiency@umb.edu.
