Graduation Requirement in Writing Proficiency ~ Courses

Courses currently approved to fulfill the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement are listed below along with the timeframe during which each has been approved. Successful completion of a course within the timeframe indicated fulfills the requirement.

Though most courses listed here will continue to be approved beyond the timeframe indicated, you should verify that a course satisfies GWAR on the  Banner student information system at the time of registration. Courses no longer satisfying the requirement can be viewed in the archive of previously approved courses.

The listing of a course as approved does not indicate that it will be offered in any given semester. Check current offerings on the CSUMB.EDU/schedule website or check the course descriptions to see how frequently a course is offered.
