Transfer credit (for similar courses
with titles like Composition, Rhetoric, etc.) from other institutions that has
been posted to a student's UD record as "ENGL166T - Transfer
Elective" may be reevaluated as equivalent to ENGL 110. Transfer students
with such credit should follow the English Department's
instructions to request
re-evaluation of the credit. UD considers ENGL110 as an on-campus experience
that is essential to the success of students. Not only do the students practice
writing, but they learn the expectations of college professors, project
management, and rigorous revision, as they write in and with a community of
peers. Transfer students seeking to receive ENGL110 credit for courses taken at
another college or university should consult our transfer of credit page.
ENGL110 Seminar in
Composition is the only required
course of all undergraduate students at the University of Delaware. Transfer
students who have taken a comparable course at another institution may apply for
exemption from the ENGL110 requirement. To qualify for exemption, the course
must be a rhetoric/writing and composition course studying primarily non-literary
sources.
To request an ENGL110 transfer
exemption review, you must complete an online application and upload supporting
documentation. Before starting this process, be sure to have electronic
