College Writing Program

Alternatives to WRT 105

Please note: WRT 105 and WRT 105E were formerly CAS 105 and CAS 105E.

Incoming Freshmen who believe they are proficient college writers may petition to use a course other than WRT 105 or 105E to satisfy the Primary Writing Requirement. The course must involve a significant writing component, which usually includes several papers across the semester and a substantial research paper. The course used to satisfy the Primary Writing Requirement must be approved by the Writing Program (we recommend preapproval) and may not also be used to satisfy the Upper-Level Requirement. The student must earn a B in the course in order to satisfy the Primary Writing Requirement.

Students may petition only once, and we expect them to do so during their first semester of matriculation.
