If you are planning to register for TCORE 101 or TWRT 120, the Writing Selection survey is now a pre-requisite and required before you register. The Writing Selection is 10 yes-or-no questions to help you choose a college composition course. 

 If you know you need to take TCORE 101 or TWRT 120, answer "No" to the survey question, "Have you taken college English composition?" 

The main purpose of this survey is to help you decide what academic writing class to take in your first year of college.
