Who to Ask section. I have plenty of time. Graduate students should meet the GWR during the first quarter in residence. When you become eligible to meet the GWR, your name will appear on a list in your department and the GWR flag on your records will change from blank to E for eligible.
Studies show that writing skills are the highest after completing writing courses.
Consequently, it is the easiest to meet the GWR as soon as you have completed your lower-division writing courses and have acquired ninety units. GWR-approved courses are offered every quarter. You must inform your instructor of your wish to fulfill the GWR through his or her class. In a class, only the instructor evaluates the essay. Your instructor submits these GWR essays to the Writing Skills Office for recording.
