The old JEPET exam is being phased out and from now on majors will get writing in the curriculum in ENVS 450: Environmental Law and Policy – GWAR. This course is not new but from now on it will be taught as a GWAR (Graduate Writing Assessment Requirement) course. It will teach Law and Policy through intensive writing, and (along with ENG 214 which is now a prereq) will serve to satisfy your writing requirements. You will not have to take JEPET if you take and pass ENG 214 and receive a C or better in ENVS 450 – GWAR. If you took a non-GWAR version of ENVS 450 you still have to take JEPET. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE ENVS 450 EARLY ON IN THE MAJOR. (Note that passing ENVS 300 with a grade of C or better is now a prerequisite for ENVS 450.
