College writing requirements

L&S:

The English Composition requirement can be met in one of two ways:
1. by passing the English Composition Examination upon completion
   of 70 units of degree credit (the examination does not yield credit);
 OR
2.  by completing with a grade of C- (or P) or better
   a.  one course from English 1, 3, 18, 19, Comparative Literature 1, 2, 3, 4,
       or Native American Studies 5;
and
   b.  English 101, 102A, 102B, 102C, 102D, 102E, 102F, 102G, 104A, 104B, 104C,
       104D, 104E, or 104F (which must be taken after 84 units have been
       completed).

After completing 70 quarter units, you may elect to satisfy the upper
division English Composition requirement by passing the English
Composition Examination administered by the College of Letters and
Science. (You should take it early in your junior year and must take it
before your last quarter. Units of credit are not given for passing this
examination.)

Or, upon completion of 90 quarter units, you may satisfy this
requirement by completing English 101, 102A, 102B, 102C, 102D, 102E,
102F, 102G, 104A, or 104E with a grade of C- or higher. Students in
Computer Science Engineering must complete the upper division
composition requirement by taking English 101 or by passing the English
composition requirement. Students in Optical Science and Engineering
must complete the upper division composition requirement by taking
English 101, 102, 104A, 104B, 104C or 104E.

This requirement is in addition to the expository writing course
requirement (English 1 or 3; Comparative Literature 1, 2, 3 or 4; or
