Prefatory Note
"The Checklist" was approved by the College faculty in 1979 as the set of criteria that define competent writing in support of the Writing Competency Requirement for graduation. The purpose of this handbook is to explain the criteria in "The Checklist" as well as the purpose of the requirement and procedures for completing it.
