Welcome to your Assessment Activities!


Your assessments must be completed in order to schedule an appointment for registration. Please make this a priority to ensure the courses that you need are available. Once all assessments are scored, an advisor will be in contact to schedule your advising appointment.

  1. Check your WSSU email for an invitation from "WSSU Canvas"
  2. Click the blue "Get Started" button in that email. This email also contains your log in information.
  3. Canvas will take you to your course (called "WSSU - Placement Test") and will ask you to accept the enrollment. Click the green "Accept" button.
  4. Use your log in information provided in the original Canvas invitation (RAM ID and password) to access Canvas and complete the assessments assigned to you.

NOTE: If you have transfer credits that you have not submitted via transcript to our Admissions office, please do so ASAP! Certain credits may exempt you from having to complete the assessments. If you have any questions about placement test exemptions, please contact Beverly Ford


Remember - none of these assessments are tests! They're strategically designed to help you identify which writing course and supplemental supports are most appropriate during the first year for you and your success.
