I don’t have my Writing Workshop Folder, can I get a conference?

Absolutely! Have the Writing Workshop instructor sign and date your essay.  Keep that essay until you bring your folder to the Workshop.  Show both your folder and essay to the instructor (or any instructor in the Writing Workshop) or to one of the Instructional Assistants and the signature will be validated.

I registered for two classes during the first session and one during the evening session.  I don’t have room in my schedule to fit in the Workshop?

You have to make a decision.  If you take an English class, it’s required to take the workshop during the same session.  You have to drop one other class or English.  You may take your English class and the workshop during the regular semester.

Can I register for English during the first session and the Workshop in the second session?

Please refer to the previous question.
