Writing Intensive (WI) Courses and
Speaking Intensive (SI) Courses

GEC requires one WI and one SI marker course from any discipline; a second WI course and a second SI course are to be taken in the major. Please note that the College of Arts and Sciences requires additional WI courses.

Throughout the year, Writing Intensive (WI) and Speaking Intensive (SI) courses are approved for offering by the General Education Writing Intensive and Speaking Intensive Committees. Since most WI and SI courses are approved to carry the WI or SI marker only for specific instructors or only for a given term, lists of WI and SI courses are not published in the Undergraduate Bulletin.

Students and advisors should always refer to the Web-based semester Schedule of Courses for a current, valid listing of approved Writing Intensive and Speaking Intensive courses offered in a given term. The Web-based Schedule for any semester can be found on UNCGenie.

Enrollment in certain Writing Intensive and Speaking Intensive courses is restricted to majors in that program. Students should always be aware of course prerequisites and other course restrictions as stated in this Bulletin before attempting to register for a course.
