Dear Colleagues, If you are interested in teaching a Writing Intensive (WI) course at York in the Summer/Fall of 2026, the Writing Intensive Advisory Committee (WIAC) invites your proposals by February 9th, 2026. We are currently reviewing proposals for: · New ad hoc WI sections or courses for Summer/Fall 2026 · Continuing ad hoc WI sections or courses for Summer/Fall 2026 Please note that the process for submitting proposals for a permanent WI designation was revised as of Sept. 2024: · The proposer of the WI permanent course should work with the department CCC representative on the proposal. When submitting, please email me (sparasram@PROTECTED) and CC your Department Representative along with the Chair of CCC - Professor Melissa Dinsman (mdinsman@PROTECTED) - to obtain recommendations concerning the WI aspects of the proposal. · If you wish to offer the course as a WI while the permanent designation is pending, please follow the ad hoc WI proposal process for each corresponding semester. The Writing Across the Curriculum Program (WAC) is particularly interested in expanding the number of lower-division (100- and 200-level) WI offerings. Please note that WI course offerings have enrollment and scheduling implications. Therefore, faculty must have the support of their Department Chair for all proposals submitted to WIAC. There are three types of Writing Intensive course proposals accepted via our online proposal form: 1) New ad hoc WI course designations are valid for one semester only. To propose a new ad hoc WI section or course: · Complete the following form: https://www.york.cuny.edu/wac/wi-course-information/wi-course-proposal · Attach a course syllabus to the above form. The syllabus should meet the criteria listed on the proposal form webpage. 2) Continuing ad hoc WI designations are valid for one semester only. To propose a continuing ad hoc WI section/course that has been taught by the same instructor: · Complete the following form: https://www.york.cuny.edu/wac/wi-course-information/wi-course-proposal Please note: A syllabus is not required for a section/instructor pair that has been offered as WI before. A syllabus is required for all other proposals, including continuing ad hoc WIs with a new instructor. 3) Continuing ad hoc WI designations are valid for one semester only. To propose a continuing ad hoc WI section/course with a new instructor: · Complete the following form: https://www.york.cuny.edu/wac/wi-course-information/wi-course-proposal · Attach a course syllabus to the above form. The syllabus should meet the criteria listed on the proposal form webpage. Again, if you wish to offer the course as a WI while the permanent designation is pending with the CCC, please submit an ad hoc WI proposal. New WI designation option: WAC is has implemented a new option for submitting ad hoc WI courses. Under this Faculty Designation model:
(Please note: Only faculty who appear on the WI Faculty List are eligible for this option.) We will slowly phase out the current ad hoc process, with the aim of fully implementing the new faculty designation model by Fall 2027. Kindly contact your Department Chair to inquire if they have designated your courses as WI in CourseDog for the Summer/Fall 2026 semesters. If they did not add the WI attribute in CourseDog, then you will need to submit the ad hoc WI Course Proposal as normal. Please review our attached flyer, which includes information on the support that WAC provides as well as links to helpful resources. We also encourage you to take the WI Faculty seminar, if you have not already done so. Please contact Shoba Parasram at sparasram@PROTECTED if you have any questions regarding the WI course proposals. Thank you for your continued interest in the WAC Program at York! | ||||
