在这些时间范围之外收到的请愿书将在下一个窗口进行考虑.
出于WI评估的目的，成绩单在4月15日之后被视为冻结.

Exceptions to the 写作-Intensive (WI) Requirement:

General Note on 请愿书s: 在一般情况下, 如果有任何可获得WI信用的传统方法，则申请将不被接受, either in the immediate or future term. 换句话说，主要研究学生希望参加主要研究 WI课程以满足WI要求. 时间安排方便或达不到毕业要求则不然, 本身, provide valid grounds for petition.

1. WI Credit for Non-WI Designated 主要研究 Courses:

  • 写作委员会的立场是写作要求和WI课程列表都是确定的.  因此, 学生要求在非WI指定的主要研究课程中获得WI学分的请愿书将不予受理. 该禁令包括在WI指定之前或WI到期后注册课程的WI学分请求.
  • Important Note on WI Credit for 主要研究 Courses: The University 写作要求 is long-standing and well known, 在课程描述中明确列出写作密集属性. 因此, students should not assume that WI is negotiable, 或参加非WI指定课程，期望获得WI学分. 认为课程应该是WI的学生可以与教师或相关部门讨论这个问题. 简而言之, 学生必须更改课程名称才能获得WI学分. 学生 should understand that except under unusual circumstances, WI designations are fixed once a semester begins, 和WI课程指定不能追溯更改为前学期的学分.

2. WI Credit for: A) Transfer B) Administrative Correction C)其他:

  • A)转学分: To qualify for a WI credit, 转学课程必须来自主要研究注册处认可的认可机构. In addition, it must:
    • carry at least 3 semester credits and receive a letter grade.
    • 跑一跑 最低 6周.
    • meet one of the following three criteria:
      1. 做一个非虚构的人, 说明的, 或者技术写作课程，在标题中加上“写作”或“作文”.
        --or--
      2. 是一个 正式指定  "写作 Intensive" course, listed as such the course catalog (ie, a formal WI curriculum comparable to 主要研究).
        --or--
      3. 由独立的“写作系”或“写作”学科(如新闻学)开设的课程.

如果学生在主要研究获得了EN401学分，那么WI学分将不被考虑用于平行的基础或新生写作课程. EN401 equivalence is determined by the English Department.

Important Note on Transfer:

  • 常驻主要研究学生:写作委员会的立场是写作强化课程, as a core component of the undergraduate curriculum, are a defining component of a 主要研究 education. 因此，这些高影响力的学习经历最好由澳门葡京网赌游戏的教师指导. 此外，在主要研究之外记录WI教学方法是极其困难的. Resident 主要研究 students, 因此, should satisfy the 写作 requirement by enrolling in 主要研究 WI classes. This includes students in study abroad and other exchange programs, 谁应该在校外经历之前或之后计划满足WI要求.

    特别不鼓励住校学生试图通过外部手段来满足复杂的WI学分(专业和/或600级WI). Not only is approval multi-staged and problematic, 但写作委员会的立场是，这些重要的学科课程应该在联合国大学的课程范围内进行管理，并由联合国大学的教师教授.

  • 转学生:指从其他地方转来的学生, their transcripts have been screened for WI credit through the admissions process; 因此, 任何额外WI学分的请求都应及时完成, defined as before the end of their first full semester at 主要研究. After that point in time, students should assume that their WI status stands as is, 并应适当规划，以防止毕业短缺.
  • B) Administrative Correction: 对于由于某些官方活动而需要调整或更正其记录的学生(课程目录问题), academic department action, 顾问的错误, or some other 主要研究 organizational reason).

Important Note on Administrative Correction: Some of these cases could be within the domain of the Department, 学校/学院, 注册处, or the Academic Standards and Advising Committee. Check with your 顾问, the Academic Department, the Dean's Office of the school in question, 或注册处处长. You may 是一个ble to resolve the issue without a petition.

  • C)其他: 解决部门或项目的WI课程中导致不足的一些系统性问题, 或者其他不属于移送、行政矫正的情形.
