English Proficiency

Students must meet the English Proficiency requirement for Northeastern State University in order to graduate. Students must complete English Comp. I (ENGL 1113) and English Comp. II (ENGL 1213) with grades of "C" of better to be considered English Proficient.

Students have two options to meet the English Proficiency requirement:

They can repeat the course(s) and make a "C" or better. In this case they will be eligible for Academic Forgiveness, which will improve their GPA.
They can sign up and pay to receive auxiliary credit through the CLEP test. Students may register for the exam here. After registering they may contact the Testing Specialist to arrange an appointment. There is a $20 NONREFUNDABLE test fee payable to NSU. 
Computer proficiency is a graduation requirement for all students. A satisfactory score on the Computer Proficiency Examination will waive this graduation requirement.
