English Composition 1

Catalog description

UoPeople offers an alternative route for demonstrating English language proficiency for international students who are not from an English-speaking country and whose high school language of instruction was not English and/or have not demonstrated that they possess the minimum level of required competency. They may be provisionally admitted to take this preparatory course that provides a review of reading, grammar, and writing prior to taking a qualifying examination. Students must successfully pass all aspects of the course, pass the qualifying examination at the end of the course, and earn a comprehensive overall grade of 73% or higher to be eligible to be accepted as a non-degree student to take regular courses. Students whose final grade is less than a 73% will not pass the course but will be eligible to take ENGL 0101 English Composition 1 and the qualifying examination one additional time only. Students who do not earn a passing grade on the second try are not eligible for regular admission and are dismissed without appeal.
