Students who obtain the required score on METU – EPE or an equivalent international exam recognized by the University Senate are exempted from the compulsory undergraduate course ENG 101 with credit.

The credit of the course and the grade (AA) will be included in the student’s CGPA, but not in the GPA of the concerned term.

Students who score 84.50 or above on METU – EPE upon admission to an undergraduate program or after completing their studies at the Department of Basic English will be exempted from ENG 101 with the grade AA. Such students are not required to apply for exemption procedures. Those who score 84 or below must enroll in ENG 101.

Students who could not obtain the required score on METU – EPE, or who have not taken the exam at all, may submit an equivalent score obtained on an international exam recognized by the University Senate for exemption from ENG 101 with the grade AA within the period specified by the Senate.

ENG 101 does not exist in the following programs, and therefore, exemption with credit is not applicable: Teaching English as a Foreign Language (SUNY), Global and International Affairs (SUNY) (GIA 101), the Vocational School
