If you have read through this website and still have not found the help you need, you may request additional help through the following form.
Because Core Writing and Core Math are so important for the rest of your education at the University, you will be required to take English and Math courses until you complete the core requirement.
For example: if you placed (based on your ACT/SAT scores) into ENG 101, you must take ENG 101 your first semester and then ENG 102 the next semester. ENG 102 completes the core writing requirement.
If you have any questions at all, contact your college advisement officer, the Advising Center, or Records and Registration.
