Congratulations and Welcome to St. Norbert! We are excited to share the next four years with you as you pursue your goals. To get started, please take 15-20 minutes to respond to this academic survey which will be used during your advisement and registration session. Be sure to share as much information as possible regarding any AP or IB tests you’ve taken or are planning to take this year, as well as any college coursework you will have completed. This will help you and your summer advisor select classes that best fit your path and interests.

Additional Considerations
Please read the guidelines below for selecting the appropriate writing course.
You can choose between two (2) writing courses:
Below are recommendations to help you determine which course is best for you.
Course description: These are courses across the curriculum, taught by professors across many disciplines—English, History, Honors, Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, and Music, to name a few. These courses have the common requirement of assigning a minimum of 3,000 words of polished writing, or the equivalent of 3-4 major writing projects, including at least one researched writing assignment. Students who enroll in a WI-designated course are assumed to have confidence and competence in researched essay writing, persuasive writing, and the writing process. These classes are designed to help you acclimate to college-level writing.
A writing intensive course is four credits, and it fulfills the College Core requirement of taking a WI course within your first two years at SNC.
Suggested Requirements:
Students should enroll in a WI (writing intensive) designated course if:
Course description: IDIS 100 is taught by writing/composition teachers at SNC. This course is recommended for students who want an introductory college writing course that helps them develop their powers of written communication. Students learn about the composing process–planning, shaping, writing, revising, editing and proofreading–and how to apply this process to a series of college writing assignments. These assignments may include personal narratives, informational summaries, persuasive essays and documented research essays. IDIS 100 can be taken as an elective by students who feel a need for a composition course.
IMPORTANT: IDIS 100 is a course that is taken before enrolling in a writing intensive (WI) designated course. It is a four-credit course that counts as one of your electives. This means that if you sign up for IDIS 100, you will also need to enroll in a writing intensive (WI) course after you successfully pass IDIS 100.
