Students with an ACT English sub-score of 29 or higher, or an SAT Verbal sub-score of 640 or higher, are waived from this requirement.

Students wishing to receive General Education approval for courses taken elsewhere after their initial enrollment at EMU and the credits are not accepted as direct (course-to-course) equivalencies to the General Education Program, must receive prior approval from the General Education Director (734.487.0439). |

|
|
Waivers and substitutions for courses taken at EMU and are not approved for the General Education Program, can only be substituted by the General Education Director (734.487.0439) and cannot be approved for General Education credit by academic departments. NOTE: Exceptions to this are the courses in Area I and II which have the guidelines written above in the first three paragraphs. |
