04:03:12 Credit for American College Testing (ACT)

Revision Responsibility: Vice President for Student Services
Responsible Executive Officer: Vice President for Student Services

Purpose

To provide guidance on awarding of academic credit based on American College Testing (ACT) scores.

Policy

Advanced placement in English may be obtained with an ACT English subtest score of 27-30 (credit for ENGL 1010, Composition I) or a score of 31 or higher (credit for ENGL 1010 and 1020, Composition I and II). Students contemplating transfer of such credit however, should be aware that senior institutions vary in their willingness to accept this credit and may require testing. When credit is awarded for high test scores on ACT, scores will be converted to a grade of “P” and will not affect the student’s quality point average. Students who wish to obtain the aforementioned credit must contact Student Enrollment Services for transcription of credit. 05/16
