<p>If you meet any of these requirements, you can opt out of the class. Although the class may be beneficial, I wouldn’t recommend taking it if you meet the requirements. The English department feels as if anyone meeting these conditions has the potential to excel without the course. Plus, there’s a Second Writing Requirement that all students must meet.</p>
<p>If the links I provided didn’t help, you should email the English department asking about their policy concerning transfer students.</p>
