Preference Submission

All students are given the opportunity to submit preferences for their Words and Numbers section to be used in their placement.  Each semester of your first year you will take a Words or Numbers course with the CORE course name (Core 120 for Words, Core 121 for Numbers).  If you are placed into Words in the fall, then you will take Numbers in the spring (and vice-versa).

Incoming transfer students do not take Words or Numbers.

The FYS: Words & Numbers preference forms for Spring 2024 will open mid-October.

Students needing to take Words or Numbers in Spring 2024 will be emailed the link the preference form to their LC email accounts.  This email will be sent mid-October.  The deadline to complete the preference form is October 30th.

Students will be emailed their Spring 2024 placements by November 3rd (before the first round of general registration for Spring 2024).  This email will be sent to LC accounts only.

Descriptions for Fall 2023 Words and Fall 2023 Numbers courses are available. 

Descriptions for Spring 2024 Words and Spring 2024 Numbers courses will be posted by mid October.
