THE FIRST-YEAR WRITING REQUIREMENT
Beginning Fall 2003, NC State students will take one four-hour
writing course, ENG 101 Academic Writing and Research, in their first year to
satisfy the freshman component of the General Education Requirements in Writing
and Speaking. Students with lower placement scores will take a two-course freshman
sequence, ENG 100 and ENG 101. Students with exceptionally high placement scores may qualify for
exemption. See Placement in Freshman English at http://social.chass.ncsu.edu/fwp/PlacementGrid.htm.
ENG 100 and 101 must be scheduled every semester until completed
satisfactorily. Successful completion requires a grade of C- or better.
