All first-year seminars are writing intensive courses.  All students are required to take at least one additional college writing course, and all academic departments offer such courses.  They are marked as "CW" in the catalogue and course schedule.  First-year students may not take this additional writing course during their first semester, when they are taking their seminar.  

At the Writing Center in the Library's Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research, students who wish to improve their writing skills can get individualized help.
