The Writing Waiver Exam will be given the first week of Spring Term. Registration is open now!

All students are required to complete two (2) terms of Writing in order to receive their degree. This requirement is met by completing WR 121 and either WR 122 or WR 123. Most students will take WR 121 and WR 122. 1st year (Freshman) students are assigned a registration priority for WR 121 based on the first letter of their last name with A-G registering Fall term, H-O registering Winter term, and P-Z registering Spring term. Beginning Fall 2002 the English Dept. has made available special sections of WR 121 for students who believe that they need additional support in developing their writing skills. Please consult with your advisor to determine the appropriate section of WR 121 for your needs. Some students will be exempt from WR 121 based on their SAT-CR or ACT-English score. If you have an SAT-CR score 710 or higher, or an ACT-English 32 or higher, you are exempt from taking WR 121 and may register for either WR 122 or WR 123. Students who have taken and received qualifying scores on either the AP or the IB English exam may receive credit for WR 121 and WR 122.

Some students feel their writing skills to be in advance of what they would learn in WR 121 and/or WR 122. The Composition Dept. makes available at the beginning of Fall, Winter, and Spring terms a waiver exam. Please visit the section on the Writing Waiver exam for more detailed information.
