INRW 0305: Integrated Reading and Writing. This course is designed for students who might struggle with college-level reading and writing assignments. Students in this course might need a bit more time and support in order to be ready for a college writing course. This is not a credit course. Instead, students take this course so that they are more successful in their credit courses.

INRW 0310: Integrated Reading + ENGL 1301. These courses are designed to be taken together. INRW 0310 provides support and assistance to students enrolled in ENGL 1301. When taken together, a student earns college credit.

ENGL 1301. This is a credit-level course that would be taken by itself with no additional support course. Students have access to online writing tutor services and the Student Success writing labs, but these are resources that students seek on their own and are not a formal part of the course.
