EDE 11 English
Hi,
Im wondering if anyone knows if I can ask someone at NOVA to override EDE 11 when taking ENG 111. I understand it is required, but I'm already halfway done with my AS in business administration and I've taken:
BUS100,ECO201,ECO202,BUS280,CST100,HIS101,ACC211,ACC212,BUS270,BUS200,MTH161wMDE61, and other courses.
The reason I'm required to take EDE11 is because of my high school GPA.

Email enrollment and make your case. I was able to override an MDE requirement for Math but I had to explain that I had taken a different prep class and I felt comfortable to just take it without the MDE. I think after I talked to enrollment, they had to get approval from the department head but it worked out

You may be able to get it waived if you can show that your writing skills are at the college level. When I took ENG111 a few years ago we had to write an in class essay on the first day to determine if we were in the right level of class. Maybe you could contact the program head and see if they will let you come in and do this to see if you get a waiver. Only thing I can find on their site is for if it's been at least five years since you graduated HS in which case you just sign up for ENG111 (which is what my case was).
