Why is OSU not offering WR 122Z? What happens if I take this course at a community college?

Why is OSU not offering WR 122Z? OSU has not offered WR 122Z for at least 30 years.  In 2022 the HECC/Writing CCN workgroup approved WR 122Z as the Common Course Number across Oregon's public higher education institutions.  As work on the writing courses for CCN occurred, so did the approval of OSU's new general education program, Core Education, set to launch summer 2025.  Core Education intentionally embeds the Core Transfer Map into our Foundational requirements (WR 121Z, Math, Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences).  OSU no longer has a writing 2 requirement, since the Core Transfer Map similarly has no such requirement. For additional details and context, please refer to the WR 122Z memo. Listed below are the writing courses in the common course numbering system and how they intersect with our current Baccalaureate Core and our future Core Education: WR 121Z OSU will continue offering and accepting WR 121Z It will satisfy the Writing I requirement for Baccalaureate Core It will satisfy the Writing Foundation requirement for Core Education WR 122Z Because OSU does not offer a WR 122, and Core Education does not have a Writing II requirement, we discontinued offering WR 222 in summer 2023 We will continue to accept WR 122Z as “WR LDT” It will continue to meet the Writing II requirement for Baccalaureate Core It will not meet the Writing Elevation requirement for Core Education WR 227Z Historically, OSU taught Technical Writing at the 300-level (WR 327) and articulated transfer courses from community colleges to “WR 327 (Lower Division)” – indicating the content was the same, but students were awarded lower-division credit for the course. In alignment with CCN, OSU will offer and accept WR 227Z It will satisfy the Writing II requirement for Baccalaureate Core It will satisfy the Writing Elevation requirement for Core Education
