JUNIOR/SENIOR WRITING REQUIREMENT

The College requires all students to complete the Junior/Senior component of the LS&A Writing Requirement. Students must have at least 55 cumulative credits toward their program before they are eligible to complete this requirement. Specifically, the Junior/Senior Writing Requirement involves successful completion of an approved course or writing program, preferably in the student's field of concentration or special academic interest. Each term the English Composition Board provides a list of such approved courses. A course approved to meet the Junior/Senior part of the Writing Requirement one term is not necessarily approved in a subsequent term. You may call POINT-10 (764-6810) to find out if the course you want is approved for a particular term as well as to learn if any spaces in the class are still available at CRISP. Enrollment in and completion of a course certified by the English Composition Board as a Junior/Senior Writing Course does not automatically guarantee fulfillment of the writing requirement. Students planning to use an approved course to meet the Junior/Senior Writing Requirement must designate the course as such by WRITING ECB in the MODIFIER BOX of the ELECTION WORKSHEET. The courses approved by the ECB are listed below.
