FAUV Code - Current Practice (SP23)

That is exactly correct regarding policy. I think the confusion has occurred with some counselors assuming (understandably) that when they see a degree listed in SOAPCOL it means that we've received an unofficial transcript. 

As Stacey explained, the information in SOAPCOL populates based on what the student enters on the application. It's unverified. So, we can't put in the FAUV 035 or FAUV 055 code until we receive the unofficial transcript and confirm that the student has indeed taken an English composition class or received a degree. I hope that clears up the confusion, but if not let me know. I want to make sure we're all on the same page. 

Thanks,

Guidance from 2010: 

To answer the Collegewide Deans request to end the use of FAUX 003 and FAUX 005, Admissions & Enrollment Management has instituted FAUV 035 and FAUV 055 codes, beginning with the fall 2010 semester. FAUV 035/FAUV 055 will override assessment levels only. The new FAUV codes WILL NOT override any prerequisites. A FAUV 035 or FAUV 055 will be added to a student’s record upon receipt of the following:

 - FAUV 035: An unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university showing a “C” or better in an English composition course of 100 or higher (overrides English/reading assessment levels)

 - FAUV 055: An unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university showing a degree conferred with date (overrides all assessment levels)

FAUV Codes

The FAUV code was implemented back in Fall 2010 to replace FAUX codes. As of now, Admissions is adding FAUV 035 & 055 to students’ record upon receipt of the following:

-          FAUV 035: An unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university showing a C or better in an English composition course of 100 or higher (overrides English/reading assessment levels)

-          FAUV 055:  An unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university showing a degree conferred with date (overrides all assessment levels)

In SOATEST, the FAUV line applies to ELAP students only in one case.  FAUV 025 means the student is exempt from ELAS classes – no ELAS970, 980, or 990 required. It’s not an exemption from ELAI990 though!   

FAUV035 and 055 Reminder

FAUV 035 will overide EN/RD assessment level
*Proof of C or better in EN comp course of 100 or higher
FAUV 055 will override all assessment levels
*Proof of prior degree

Student can show Admissions an unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university. The AEM staff member will sign, date, scan into the system and it and give it back to the student (in case they need a pre-req override for something else).

Students can also print out an unofficial transcript in front of a counselor or AEM staff person. The person who witnesses this will sign, date and then send to Admissions for appropriate FAUV code to be input.

In SOATEST, the FAUV line applies to ELAP students only in one case.  FAUV 025 means the student is exempt from ELAS classes – no ELAS970, 980, or 990 required. It’s not an exemption from ELAI990 though!
