Advanced Standing


Based on the high school record and performance on the ACT or SAT, Fairmont State will determine eligibility for advanced standing and credit in English and foreign language as follows:

English: Students may receive three hours of college credit in ENGL 1101  and may enroll in ENGL 1102  if they present four units of high school English with no semester grade of less than a “B” and a standard score of 25 or higher on the English section of the ACT or 640 on the evidence-based reading and writing section of the redesigned SAT.

Foreign Language: Students who present one or more units of high school French or Spanish may enroll in FREN 1102  or SPAN 1102 . Students who present two or more units of high school French or Spanish may enroll in FREN 2201  or SPAN 2201 .

French or Spanish minor: Students electing a minor in French or Spanish may satisfy the elementary level requirement, FREN 1101  and FREN 1102 , or SPAN 1101  and SPAN 1102 , by presenting two or more units of high school French or Spanish. These hours will not be recorded as college credit but will fulfill the requirement for the first six hours of the minor.

Students will not be awarded multiple credit, standing or GPA based on duplicated advanced placement scores, tests or transfer work.
