Requirements

General Requirements

Students must have at least 64 credits and have a class standing of Junior or Senior to enroll in an AWD class.
Registration may be restricted based upon student’s College enrollment.
Students wishing to register who do not meet the below requirements must contact the English department.

Additional Information

You may take AWD any time after earning 64 credits. Ideally, you have completed at least one co-op. We do not recommend taking AWD in your final semester at NU.
Only you know the demands of your co-op job, but there are no restrictions to prevent you from taking AWD while working.
In rare instances, students will be given permission to take a class in a discipline other than in their major/college. To request an override, please email the AWD Director and explain your reason along with specific classes and co-ops. If you have extensive coursework and co-op experiences in this other field, we will consider it. Please note that we do not grant overrides just because a class better fits into your schedule.
NU does not accept transfer credit for AWD.
