For students who matriculated into Newcomb-Tulane College prior to Fall 2018; this petition allows students to request a course to satisfy the school-specific writing intensive requirement in the pre-2018 curriculum. Used by the Schools of Science & Engineering (SSE), Public Health (SPH), and Architecture (ARCH), for courses taught at Tulane that lack the writing-intensive or Tier 2 Writing attribute.
