NOTE re: Special Permissions Procedures 2009-2010
We will be considering requests for special permission to take 2200 level Writing courses without the prerequisites beginning Monday, August 31st. The procedure is as follows:
Contact the Undergraduate Program Director, Mr. Brock Eayrs, on or after Monday, August 31st and schedule an interview with him. Bring to the interview a minimum of 3 academic essays, complete with comments and grades. These will be assessed during the interview, and a decision made.
Your academic writing must meet the following standard: is it at a level which would earn a grade of 65% or above in Writing 2101F/G? This standard applies to all 2200 level course special permissions, including those for "Creative Writing" courses.
