Freshmen may not take WRIT 150 and a GESM simultaneously during fall semester. In the spring semester, freshmen may take both if needed. Sophomores who have not completed WRIT 150 and GESM may take both courses concurrently in any semester. Students seeking to register for a WRIT 150 section during the first three weeks of the semester should consult the Writing Program’s registration policy. Questions regarding WRIT 150 may be addressed to the Writing Program at writprog@usc.edu.
