prerequisites
Students interested in enrolling in College Writing 151 must have:

  • fulfilled the university's reading and composition 1A and 1B requirements (i.e., students cannot be concurrently fulfilling the R&C requirement)
  • junior or senior class level at UC Berkeley, or instructor approval

    (Please note: Class level is not the same as class standing; briefly, before enrolling in this class, students should have finished at least four semesters on the Berkeley campus or should have transfered into the university as a junior or senior. For more information, please see the FAQs.)

In addition to these prerequisites, students must attend the first 3 days of class to keep or secure a place in the course.


enrollment priorities for fall 2008
Students who have a 2008 or 2009 graduation date have enrollment priority; as space allows, the class will admit students with a 2010 graduation date.


enrollment procedures
All students wanting to enroll in the course must add their name to the CW 151 waitlist.

Students who are on the CW 151 waitlist will be given a Course Entry Code (CEC) during the first week of class and not before; these CECs will be assigned to students in the order students appear on the waitlist, if they have fulfilled the prerequisites noted above.

To help students settle their schedules faster, students may be moved into the course prior to the first day of class, according to College Writing Programs enrollment priorities. However, students who are moved into the course prior to the first day of class must attend the first three days of class to retain this space in the course; students who do not attend the first three days will be dropped so students in attendance can add the class.
