• View the Faculty Handbook for the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences General Education and Distribution Requirements.
• A WI class calls for 5,000 words of revised writing. Each class caps at a maximum of 22 ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½. The majority of writing assignments should allow ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ sufficient time to plan, write, revise, and (if they wish) visit the Writing Center.
• The WI designation is attached to sections, not courses. For example, four sections of a course could run without the WI tag, while the fifth runs with it.
• Some departments may wish to increase the semester hours in WI courses (e.g., a course that normally runs at 3 credits may run at 4 credits) to accommodate requirements for content coverage as well as writing instruction.
• If you have questions about WI courses, please contact the HCLAS dean's office at 516-463-5410.
