U of I Dual Credit FAQ

Once admitted, students automatically receive a U of I student email (ex. joev1234@vandals.uidaho.edu and a Vandal ID number V00123456); students will receive this information 3-5 business days after submitting their admission application.

Setting up MyUI step-by-step

U of I students are placed into first-year writing courses based on their standardized test scores. The criteria used can be found here. 

To enroll in English 101, dual credit students should have an ACT score of 18-24 or an SAT score of 510-620. 

If your students have taken a standardized test and have scored below the minimum of 18 (ACT) or 510 (SAT) they should not take English 101 as dual credit. On campus, students whose test scores fall below 18 or 510 are placed into 101P, a four-credit class designed to provide them with an extra hour of student-centered, small group tutorial sessions, supplemented by individualized support in the Writing Center.

If your students have not taken a standardized test (and therefore have no scores), but you are familiar with their coursework and confident in their abilities to be successful in a college-level English course, you may provide an override in Dual Enroll to allow them to enroll in English 101. 

Dual credit students must take English 101 prior to enrolling in English 102. You may not provide an override for English 102 for students who do not have standardized test scores and have not already taken English 101. (That is, dual credit students should not be placed into English 102 based solely on your confidence in their abilities; they still need to take English 101 first.) 

At this time, taking The Write Class to challenge placement is not an option for dual credit students.
