Requirement
The following writing requirement applies to

communication majors and minors must complete the departmental writing
requirement by successfully completing with at least a C- the designated
writing assignments identified in course syllabi. Those students who do not
earn at least a C- must revise and resubmit the work until the minimal
requirement is achieved. The grade
for a revised paper will not replace the original paper’s grade when determining
the final grade for the class. Failure
to meet the C- minimum on all the designated writing assignments will result in
an incomplete for the course grade. Upon completing the necessary work, the grade will be changed to the
appropriate grade for the work done by the student. All rules and deadlines regarding incomplete grades are in
effect during this time.
