Who is required to take the Information Literacy (L) course?
The L course is required for all students under USP 2003. Even if the I requirement is waived, you must still meet the L requirement. However, some students may be eligible to satisfy the L requirement if they meet one of the following criteria AND pass the TIP exam (offered by the University Libraries) with a minimum score of 70%. This approach is temporary, and should be used when it is the only reasonable and timely option for the student. Students will receive no credit hours for the exam and will not be assessed a fee. The eligibility criteria are: A. Students who transfer to UW with 16 or more credits (post high school) or B. Students who began their UW career under USP 1991, left UW for one or more years, and are returning to UW under USP 2003. This policy will expire in December 2011.
