Our Skills for College English course has been replaced (starting in the Spring/Summer term) with our new COMM 1162 Introduction to College Communication, which is equivalent to this course.
Our Skills for College English course helps you focus on your writing needs and on creating an effective writing style. Develop your abilities with organization, grammar, spelling and vocabulary through paragraph and short-essay writing.
This English course is considered a preparatory course for our COMM 1008 College English/COMM 1138 College English (Distance Learning) course, acts as the foundation for further study, and has no transferable credit value.

Additional Information
Fast-tracking: Want to complete Skills for College English and College English in one term? George Brown College offers fast-track sections for this course and COMM 1008 College English. Each course’s fast-track sections run two nights a week for seven weeks (half a term). This means you can complete both courses in one term – Skills for College English in the first half and College English in the second half. Look for the section notes that indicate a “fast-track session”. These fast-track course sections are popular, so register early.
