WCWP 10A: The Writing Course A
WCWP 10A, the first course in the Warren Writing Sequence, provides students with reading, writing and critical thinking tools that will prepare them for school and for life.
The close reading, reflecting, and writing practices students will learn in this course will encourage them to both question and build on what they learned about writing in high school and in other academic courses. Students will also develop tools for thinking critically about justice, ethics, and other social issues as they take other courses, choose a major, and deepen their understanding of current social problems.

Registration Information and Prerequisites
We encourage students to complete 10A by the end of their first year at UCSD*.
Our classes tend to get impacted. Because WCWP 10A, WCWP 10B, PHIL/POLY 27, and PHIL/POLY 28 need to be completed in sequence, the sooner you take 10A, the less likely you are to incur delays in your General Education Requirements progression.
Enrollment in WCWP 10A is only open to Warren College students who have successfully satisfied the university Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR)**, also known as Subject A. Students may clear the ELWR in a variety of ways, including through previous test scores, classes, or a placement exam. Students that do not clear the ELWR requirement must take classes with the Analytical Writing Program (AWP) before they can be eligible to enroll in Warren Writing.
*If you need to take AWP, this timeline may look different for you. Please consult the Ideal Pathways Toward Fulfilling UC Writing Requirements for AWP students.
**Students may not enroll in WCWP 10A until their record reflects they have satisfied this requirement. We do not authorize students to enroll in this course prior to fulfilling this requirement. We do not accept self-reported grades or test scores for authorization.
