Writing Intensive (WI) Courses
Students
The AGEC is changing and Writing Intensive is no longer required to graduate. As of Fall 2025, Writing Intensive (WI) classes no longer exist. Moving forward, students can expect to be supported in their writing in all of their general education classes through enhanced coursework, office hours with their professors, and the Student Success Center.
If you have any questions about your degree requirements, please get in touch with advising as soon as possible: You can make an appointment here: https://www.azwestern.edu/student-support/advisement-services
Faculty
Writing Intensive classes are sunsetting in Spring 2025, as are the requirements for students to take them.
The Writing Curriculum Committee, which has supported the Writing Intensive Program since 2012, is currently conducting research about how to best support writing throughout the college without the Writing Intensive program in place.
If you would like to be a part of shaping the next version of writing support at AWC, please contact the Chair of the Writing Curriculum Committee, Dr. Sarah Snyder at Sarah.Snyder@azwestern.edu .
