College Requirements
Included in the list below are the College requirements that differ from AULER along with the designated courses that meet those requirements.
1. Writing-Intensive Courses
To emphasize the importance of writing both as an essential skill and as a tool for learning, the College requires students to take four Writing-Intensive courses, not to include ENG 101 or 102 or their equivalents. The Writing-Intensive courses offered each semester are designated by a "W" in the printed semester Schedule of Courses.
a. At least one of the four Writing-Intensive courses must be in the lower division (200 and below), at least one in the upper division (300 and above), and at least one in the department or program of the student's primary major. A single course may satisfy both the requirement for a course in the major and one of the requirements for a course at a specific level (lower- or upper-division), as long as a total of four Writing Intensives are taken.
b. Students transferring to UNCG as sophomores, and returning students who completed 30-59 hours of their coursework at UNCG prior to 1989, are required to take three writing-intensive courses, distributed as in 1-a above. Students transferring to UNCG as juniors, and returning students who completed 60-89 hours at UNCG prior to 1989, are required to take two writing-intensive courses, at least one of which must be in the department or program of their primary major. Students who transfer as seniors, or who return having complete 90 or more hours at UNCG prior to 1989, must take one writing-intensive course. NOTE: Writing-intensive courses may also meet AULER, College, or major requirements.
Students who obtain a score of 5 on the English Advanced Placement Literature and Composition examination are exempted from one of the required lower-division writing-intensive courses. Contact the Department of English for further information.
