Transfer students take WritProg rather than LS 1050 should submit all seven required papers to the Writing Proficiency Portfolio in consultation with the Director of the Writing Program. At the end of LS 1000, LS 1010, or LS 1050, faculty members should collect clean copies of four primary writing assignments from each student. Faculty will be given folders for each student's portfolio from the Writing Program so that the work from each year's entering class may be submitted uniformly for the Writing Program's records. For traditional students and for Adult and Transfer students enrolled in their courses, Core 3 faculty will then submit an additional paper to the students' portfolio at the conclusion of the Spring semester. Once the LS and Core 3 papers have been submitted to the Writing Program Office, the faculty responsibility for submitting students' work is complete.
Students are then responsible for submitting subsequent papers to their portfolios.
Teachers must, however, approve the pieces of writing submitted from their classes by signing the appropriate form provided to the student by the Writing Program Office. Those students whose writing is marginal will then be encouraged to register for LS 1020, a follow-up writing intensive course. Those students whose writing is clearly non-proficient will be required to register for LS 1020. After students have submitted all the required papers from core courses they will be notified whether they have met the writing proficiency requirement. If not, the student will be required to do additional work on his or her writing either in courses or in the Writing Center and to submit additional papers to the portfolio for its reassessment.
