If your ACT score on the writing assessment portion of the ACT is above 18, then you have the option of choosing ENGL 1005 or ENGL 1010. If your ACT score is below 18 then you are required to enroll in ENGL 1005.
Successful completion of ENGL 1005 or ENGL 1010 serves the prerequisite for ENGL 2010 and numerous other courses across the curriculum.
In most cases UVU relies on your ACT score or transfer credit to help determine the writing class that's right for you.

To see how your previous courses transferred you can check the transfer articulation. If you have additional questions contact the Transfer Credit Coordinator at 801-863-8216 or by emailing [email protected]
Note: Students can place directly into ENGL 2010 if both their ACT English and their ACT Reading scores are 29 or higher and taken within the previous five years. Please check with your academic advisor.
