Writing Intensive Courses

Writing Intensive courses are marked with a (WI) in the College Catalog and on course schedules. A course's eligibility depends on its instructor. A course may be Writing Intensive in one section or term and not Writing Intensive the next. For that reason, students must check the catalog and their course schedules to be sure a course fulfills the writing intensive requirement. Talk to your professor if you have any questions.
