What is Retroactive Credit?
Students who place into an English class above Composition I (ENGL 1150) may be eligible for retroactive credit. This means that you can receive the academic credits for the courses you were able to skip by placing forward in the required courses. You do not have to pay for these credits, and they will show up on your transcript as if you took the courses.
Students can apply for retroactive credit for ENGL-1150 (with a grade of CR) if they meet both of the following conditions:
- Present an ACT Reading or English of 29+, an ACT Composite score of 27+, An SAT Reading and English score of 430+, or an SAT Composition score of 1241+; present a score of 4 on the Advanced Placement (AP) examination taken on or after August 25, 2008 (either Language and Composition or Literature and Composition exams); place out of ENGL 1150 by taking the ENGL 1150 Waiver Exam; or if prior to Spring 2024, have an EPPE score of 6
- Take and successfully pass (with a C- or better or CR) ENGL 1160 at UNO
Students can apply for retroactive credit for ENGL-1150 and ENGL-1160 (with grades of CR) if they meet both of the following conditions:
