HOW TO ENROLL IN THE CROWN CORE COURSE

All frosh (even those with AP or transfer credits) must enroll in a section of the Crown Core Course - Ethical Issues in Emerging Technologies. Enrollment for core course sections begin on Thursday, September 24. You must also enroll in the companion class BME 83 The Genetic Revolution: Science & Technology when you enroll for your fall classes. Your Entry Level Writing Requirement status determines your CRWN 80A or 80B section. The following will help you enroll correctly.

STEP 1: DETERMINE YOUR STATUS ON THE ENTRY LEVEL WRITING REQUIREMENT (ELWR) THAT DETERMINES YOUR CRWN 80A OR B SECTION.

• 8 or above on the Analytical Writing Placement Exam (AWPE) in spring OR fall during Fall Orientation. (If you took the May exam you may not take the fall exam, but will have an opportunity to take the exam again in November.)
• 680 or higher on the SAT II Subject Test in Writing
• 680 or higher on the SAT Reasoning Test Writing section
• 3 or above on the AP English Language or AP English Literature Exam
• 5 or above on the IBH Higher Level English Language A-1 Exam
• C or better on a UC transferable English composition course

Exam score reports and official college transcripts must be sent to the UCSC Admissions Office.

In addition please bring a copy of exam scores or college composition class transcripts with you in the fall (unofficial is okay) so the College can verify your placement in the correct core course section in case official scores are not yet entered in the system.

STEP 2: DETERMINE YOUR CROWN CORE GROUP AND FOLLOW THE ENROLLMENT INSTRUCTIONS

GROUP I.
If you have not satisfied ELWR (see above ways), you should enroll in an 80A ELWR- NOT SATISFIED section (sections 1-8).

GROUP II.
If you have satisfied ELWR (see above ways) but have not satisfied the C1 requirement (see the GROUP III list), you should enroll in an 80A ELWR-SATISFIED section (sections 9-17).

GROUP III.
If you have satisfied ELWR (see above ways) and have satisfied the C1 requirement by receiving a:

• Score of 4 or 5 on either AP English Exam or
• Score of 5 on IBH Higher Level English Exam or
• Score of 10 or higher on the AWPE or
• Grade of C or higher from a UC transferable English composition course,

you should enroll in one of the CRWN 80B sections.

PROBLEMS ENROLLING?

CRWN 80A OR 80B ENROLLMENT BEGINS THURSDAY, SEPT. 24. YOU MUST ENROLL IN BME 83 PRIOR TO ENROLLING IN CRWN 80A OR 80B. The AWPE scores will be automatically sent to the UCSC Admissions Office, however you must request to have your official examination scores for the AP, IB, and SAT II sent to the UCSC Admissions Office from the testing service. You can check online at the Student Portal to see if your test scores have been received. If you are satisfying the ELWR with a college composition course, the Admissions Office must receive and evaluate your official college transcript before you can enroll in CRWN 80B.

Because there is often a lag time from when Admissions receives your scores and enters them in the system, please bring a paper copy of your test scores and college composition transcripts (unofficial is okay) when you come in the fall so the College can verify your placement in the correct core course section.
