  • 60 completed credit hours
  • a grade of "A" or proficiency credit in English 302
  • an overall GPA of at least 3.0
  • an overall GPA of at least 3.5 in your major

In order to take the course and earn credit for working as a peer tutor in the University Writing Center, you must also submit two recommendations from faculty and a sample of recent academic writing to the Director of the UWC.
