The PASS program is offering an English learning community this Spring. When you sign up for one class, you are automatically enrolled in all classes and must be ready to take all three classes during the semester. Classes meet on a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, which allows for flexibility for work and/or lab hours on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

-
English 301 (Introduction to Academic Writing) with Jamie Gerard (TTH 8am-10am)- Section 4398
