We offer the following resident instruction courses:

• 202A, Effective Writing: Writing in the Social Sciences
• 202B, Effective Writing: Writing in the Humanities
• 202C, Effective Writing: Technical Writing
• 202D, Effective Writing: Business Writing
• 202H, Writing in the Humanities: Adult Literacy

The 202 is determined by your major. You will need to check your major’s requirements or speak with your advisor to find out which of the advanced writing in rhetoric courses you will need.

Typically, all the 202 courses, with the exception of ENGL 202H, are controlled for scheduling only 04-11 (student’s must have earned 43.1 credits to be considered 4th-semester standing) and IP (Integrated Programs/ BAMA) students.

ENGL 202H has a prevent all control because the instructor oversees enrollment in the class. See the “What is ENGL 202H, Writing in the Humanities: Adult Literacy?” section below for more information.

There may be special sections of some of the 202 courses that are controlled for certain majors. Be sure to double check the controls if you are unable to get in to the course.

You will not be able to officially schedule the course until the system updates you to 4th-semester status. That means you will have to wait until all of your grades are in for your current classes and the system changes your semester standing.

No, department policy states that we cannot override you in to a section unless you are a graduating senior—graduating in the current semester for which you are scheduling. You will need to follow the appropriate steps below based on your situation.

The Department’s policy will allow us to override you in to a section, but you must do the following:

• Have an official letter from your Department Advisor on letterhead stating you are filing your intent to graduate and that you need the course to graduate.

The section will be assigned based on your class schedule. We are unable to schedule the section based on your work schedule.
• Continue to try to enroll in 202 until midway through the add/drop period the first week of the semester before we will override you into a section. We suggest putting a watch on as many sections of the course that you are able.
