Transfer Student Requirements for Writing Across the Curriculum

3245.1 Policy Statement

A transfer student who has completed the transfer module that is part of the Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy will be considered as having met the Writing in the Core requirements.

Transfer students who have not completed the Ohio Transfer Module but who have completed the equivalent of the Wright State Core when they matriculate at Wright State will be considered as having met the IW requirement in the Wright State Core.

Transfer students who have completed the equivalent of less than 50% (less than 19 semester hours) of the Wright State Core when they matriculate at Wright State must complete two IW courses in the Wright State Core.

Transfer students who have completed the equivalent of 50-75% (19-28 semester hours) of the Wright State Core when they matriculate must complete one IW course within the Wright State Core.

Transfer students who have already completed the equivalent of 75% or more of the Wright State Core may satisfy the IW requirement by completing one IW course in the Wright State Core or by preparing an acceptable portfolio that includes writing on demand or by completing an approved advanced writing course.

NOTE: All transfer students must complete two IW courses in the major. Any additional IW course completed in the major beyond the two used to meet the major requirement can be used to complete the IW requirement in the Core.
