5--At your institution does the basic writing course(s) require extra fees in addition to general tuition?
6--If yes, what is the extra charge?
- There aren’t extra fees, but the cost of the course is not covered by the statewide merit-based scholarship program (Any student who meets minimum GPA requirements gets $10,000 to cover tuition, which in-state is darn close to the whole four years). Many students depend on this scholarship program, so the fact that developmental comp is not covered is a hardship and a sore spot for students.
- N.A. In fact, two of the Developmental English Courses give students an 8 hour instruction period for the cost of 5 credits, so in a sense, we give them a discount.
- $30.00
7--If yes, what is the purpose and use of the extra fee?
- Originally to support teaching of ENGL 90 like equipment and videos, also faculty development. Now to support part of the Writing Program as a whole.
