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.
Students must enroll in an approved course or writing program, preferably
in the student's field of concentration or specific academic interest. Students
must write ECB in the modifier box on the election worksheet. The course
instructor must certify that the student has met the requirement at the
end of the term. 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. The courses approved by the ECB for
