The Upper-Level Writing Requirement provides students with valuable instruction in advanced writing in the disciplines. All LS&A, SNRE, and School of Music students at the University of Michigan must fulfill the Upper-Level Writing Requirement.
The College requires all students to complete the Upper-Level component of the LS&A Writing Requirement. Students must have completed introductory composition 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 select the course for the writing requirement on Wolverine Access. The course instructor must certify that the student has met the requirement at the end of the term.
Each term the Sweetland Writing Center provides a list of such approved courses. A course approved to meet the Upper-Level part of the Writing Requirement one term is not necessarily approved in a subsequent term. The courses approved by the Sweetland Writing Center for this term are listed below.
The Upper-Level Writing Requirement provides students with valuable instruction in advanced writing in the disciplines. Once a student has satisfied the First-Year Writing Requirement and feels ready for advanced writing, he/she may elect an approved advanced writing in the disciplines course. All LS&A, SNRE, and School of Music students at the University of Michigan must fulfill the Upper-Level Writing Requirement.
