Testing out of 101-102

Your scores on the ACT English exam or the SAT Verbal or Critical Reading exam determine your placement in English 101 and 102 or your exemption from these courses and from the University Writing Proficiency Requirement. ACT and SAT scores do not earn credit.

Appropriate scores on the Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature and English Language exams do earn credit for English 101, 102, and 150 and also help determine placement.

Please note that some degree programs require students to take English 102 even if their exam scores fulfill the University Writing Proficiency Requirement.

Your academic advisor will work with you during orientation to determine appropriate placement and credit.
