WAC Training Seminars 

WAC offers a Faculty Training Seminar in support of innovation and instructional improvement in general education. Eligible participants are adjuncts, instructors, or tenure-track faculty who teach or plan to teach a WAC-designated course within six months of participating in the seminar. Interested faculty should review the criteria for College Writing II Replacement Courses and 2000-4000 level Writing Across the Curriculum courses before the seminar.

Participants need to complete all the requirements of the seminar in order to receive credit and the stipend. 

Previous Seminar topics have included Designing Writing Assignments ,  Responding to and Grading Student Writing , and Presentations of a Revised Assignment .

Spring 2026: Please contact Prof. Sipai Klein (WAC Director) or Julianne Zvolensky (WAC Assistant Director) with questions about WAC's faculty training.

As you may know, FAU formalized its Writing Across Curriculum program in spring 2007. At that time, the Faculty Senate approved a policy that beginning spring 2008, all faculty (including adjuncts and instructors) who teach WAC designated courses “may do so without training, but only for a single semester.”  Those faculty members must participate in a WAC seminar before teaching another WAC course.

Faculty must receive WAC training within one semester of teaching their first WAC course. Thus, if instructors are currently teaching a WAC course without training, they will not be able to teach a WAC course again until they participate in a WAC seminar.
