UPPER-DIVISION WRITING COURSE DESIGNATION
Department: Major(s):
Date Submitted:
According to the rules of the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program from EM 17-009, which took effect
in Fall 2018, all students must complete TWO upper-division courses with an emphasis on writing (called W-
courses). One course must be a GWAR course (previously called a WP course), which is part of the student’s
major.
The other course must be “an
upper-division W-course in or specified by the department of the student’s major”.
In
the space below, please list all courses your department has
chosen to specify
for meeting this requirement for
students in the major(s) above. Courses which could be selected include:
• Current upper-division Writing (W) Course
• Current
upper-division General
Education Writing courses
(see
GE
planning
sheet)
• Current
GW
courses
(students could
fulfill
the UD
writing
requirement
with
two
GWAR
(GW)
courses)
• Courses
in
your
department
which
currently
do not
have
any of
the
above
status
but
for
which you want
to
obtain W-course status.
For
these courses,
an
additional
“W-course application
form”
must
also
be
completed.
If you want to include non-GE courses from other departments in your list, please consult with those departments
before submitting this form.
Majors with more than one option may specify different sets of upper-division W-courses for each; please submit
separate forms for each option.
Alternatively, if your department wishes to allow students to count any upper-division W-course for this
requirement, mark the box below.
