Waitlist Writing 340 - The Writing Program

The Writing Program does not use the add/drop form. Professors are not able to add you to their sections. Please follow the instructions below for each week:

Writing 340
	If you are inquiring about a Writing 340 – Advanced Writing for Business section: contact Angie Sabido-Wood at 213-740-0627 or at asabido@marshall.usc.edu If you are inquiring about a Writing 340 – Advanced Writing Communication for Engineers: contact Suad Aziz at 213-740-3652 or at suadaziz@usc.edu
	For Communication & the Public Intellectual, Advanced Writing: Writing in the Community, Advanced Writing for Health Sciences: Global Health, Advanced Writing for Editing and Publishing, and Visual & Performing Arts: Please see the notes for instructions on D-clearance on the Schedule of Classes.
Week 1	For Arts & Humanities, Natural Sciences, Economics, Food Studies, Social Sciences, Health Sciences, Pre-Law: Register for a seat as they become available. All Writing 340 sections are capped at 19 seats.
Week 2	For all other writing sections on D-clearance. If by the start of Week 2 you do not have a Writing 340 section and you require one, please complete this form (the waitlist is now closed — see week 3). The waitlist does not guarantee a seat; priority is given to graduating seniors. If you are granted D-clearance the Writing Program office will contact you to register and attend the next class meeting.
Week 3	Adding in week 3 is strongly discouraged and requires approval by the instructor. Any seats assigned in week 3 will be done through the Writing Program office. Given the nature of the writing curriculum and the workshop format of the class, joining a Writing 340 section after the second week of the semester places a student at a severe disadvantage in terms of the goals and requirements of the course. For this reason, requests to add 340 during the third week are usually denied. On the basis of extraordinary circumstances, a student may initiate an exception request in the relevant administrative office (at the Dornsife College Writing Program, the Marshall Center for Management Communication, or the Viterbi Engineering Writing Program); such requests require both administrative and instructor approval. Email writprog@usc.edu with questions.

	Notes: You should be on the roster of a given section before you begin attending a Writing class
