Graduation Requirement in Writing Proficiency (UWSR)

All students must demonstrate competency in writing skills as a requirement for graduation. Information on currently available ways to meet this graduation requirement may be obtained from Academic Programs and Services.

Cal State East Bay has temporarily suspended the University Writing Skills Requirement (UWSR) until Academic Year 2021-22.  Students with rights to the 2020-21 Catalog for graduation requirements are considered to have satisfied this requirement.

Please note that some graduate programs (e.g., M.S. Music, M.B.A., M.S. Educational Leadership) require coursework which also fulfills the UWSR.   Students pursing these degrees must complete the courses required by their programs in order to earn a degree regardless of the UWSR suspension.
