Most incoming transfer students have already satisfied the ELWR and C1 requirements, and many have already satisfied C2. (Any transfer student who has satisfied IGETC has already satisfied these requirements.) Students who have not satisfied the ELWR or C1 should plan on taking the AWPE during one of the campus administrations of the exam prior to starting classes at UCSC. (The date of next scheduled campus-administered AWPE can be found in the Announcements section of the Writing Program's home page.)

Students who have satisfied ELWR and C1 should enroll in Writing-2 to satisfy their C2 requirement.

Please note that although there is an articulation agreement between UCSC and California community colleges, there are no other articulation agreements for other institutions. If you have taken a class at an institution other than a California Community College, and you believe it will satisfy the C1 or C2 requirement based on the C1/C2 academic objectives, speak to your college advisor for options.
