FAQ Detail
Is a writing course required to be on my schedule?
- FAQ Type: Academics, First Year
- FAQ Response:
Yes, and no. The writing course on your schedule is based on the results of your English placement exam and all students placed into a writing course other than College Writing must have that course on their schedule during their first semester here at Rutgers. All writing placements are checked by a writing sample completed in the first week of the class. If you are concerned about your placement, please submit that writing sample and discuss your concerns with your instructor. Writing courses cannot be dropped, but you can switch sections by adding a different section of the same course on WebReg.
If you placed into College Writing and do not see this course on your schedule: Don't panic. College Writing can be completed during the second semester of your first year at Rutgers.
