College Composition
Reading & Writing Analytically

• This is a fully online, 16-week course that begins on August 21 and ends on December 10. It requires a time commitment of approximately twelve hours a week. 

• Our course is asynchronous, which means we have no required class meetings. Instead, you will have assignments due each week, and you can complete them when it is most convenient for you.

• Our course is organized into weekly modules, which will always open no later than Monday morning.

• Reliable, high-speed internet access: The Southwestern College Chula Vista and San Ysidro campuses provide free wifi.

Optional

• Microsoft Word: SWC students can get Office 365 for free. Visit Office 365 for Students for details and a request form.

• Computer: Much of our course is mobile friendly, but a computer makes working online easier! If you would like to borrow a computer, visit SWC Cares and select SWC Connects.
