Grading Policies
To successfully count a course towards the Creative Writing minor, a student must take the course for a letter grade only and must receive a passing grade. A passing grade for all Creative Writing minor requirements is a “C-” or better.
External Credit Policies
Subject to approval, transfer students only may apply up to three courses taken at approved universities toward the Creative Writing minor. The following minor requirements can be substituted:
English literature elective
Short story literature course
Prose or poetry workshops (subject to the Creative Writing Program Director's approval)
Contact the program to initiate the transfer credit substitution process.
Additional Program Policies
Prerequisites
If courses on the approved course list have prerequisites, then those prerequisites may fulfill other requirements for the Creative Writing minor. For example, ENGLISH190 has a prerequisite of an introductory prose course; this prerequisite satisfies the introductory prose requirement. If the instructor waives the prerequisite for the student, they may enroll into the desired course but they will not be exempt from the requirement that prerequisite would have fulfilled. The student must complete that requirement at a later time.
Course Substitutions
Subject to approval, students who take a class outside the approved course list may request a course substitution to count that course towards the Creative Writing minor. Students should not take for granted that any particular course will be accepted. Maximum limit of two approved course substitutions allowed. To request a course substitution, visit Creative Writing's website opens in a new tab.
If accepted to the Levinthal Tutorial Program, the Levinthal Tutorial courses will count towards the intermediate/advanced workshop requirements (e.g., ENGLISH190L - Levinthal Tutorial in Fiction is considered an intermediate/advanced prose course).
