  • Single quarter BWRIT 134
  • Stretch (two quarter) BWRIT 132 and BWRIT 133
• Read a few student testimonials reflecting on the different course options
• Reflect in writing on which course seems best for you
• Make a decision on which course(s) you will take

Post-survey next steps

• Once you are done with the placement survey, you will receive a confirmation email with your answers at the email address you provided while completing the DSP.
• After 1 to 2 business days, you will be able to register for the class you selected as long as you have already completed orientation.
• If it has been more than 3 business days and you have attended orientation but you cannot register for your course, please contact an academic advisor at uwbadvis@uw.edu.
