What is the writing (WI) requirement for SAU students?
Writing Intensive Requirement: After passing ENGL 101 with a C or better, the student must pass, with a C or better, two writing intensive (WI) courses. One can be at any level in any department, and one must be at the 300 or 400 level in the declared major. A student pursuing a double major must complete a WI course in each major. This would satisfy the two required WI courses. A WI next to the course code in the catalog identifies a writing intensive course. Courses from accredited two- or four-year institutions designated writing intensive on transcript or in catalog description will transfer to St. Ambrose. However, two-year college courses cannot be used to meet the WI requirement for a 300- or 400-level course. Appeals can be prepared with the major department and forwarded to the Board of Studies.
