WRITING SAMPLE DUE DATES
REGISTERING FOR CREATIVE WRITING COURSES

Registering for creative writing courses requires that students submit a writing sample and state for which course they are applying.  Please tell us whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, and—if relevant—which other writing courses you have taken.

The due date for fall 2008 courses (see catalog) is

Noon on Wednesday, April 23.

The facts about writing samples:

1. Writing samples should consist of 3-5 poems for poetry courses, 3-5 pages of prose (creative or otherwise) for prose (fiction/non-fiction) courses
    
2. *Samples for the poetry courses should be turned in to Crystal Williams’s Eliot mailbox
   
   *All prose samples should be turned in to Peter Rock’s Eliot mailbox
   
   **Samples sent by email will not be considered
    
3. They are due at noon on Wednesday during the week of registration. For spring 2009 courses, writing samples will be due by November 23 (and decisions will be made at that time).
   
   **Writing samples can also be submitted at any time prior to the due date. Early submissions are appreciated.
    
4. Students will be alerted via e-mail during pre-registration, if possible by the Friday of the first week (April 25).
    
5. A second deadline, for late registration, is at noon on Wednesday of the week of late registration. This deadline is only for students returning from a leave. There may or may not be space for these students.
