New Faux Code

NEW FAUV 035/055 Coding

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)

- This documentation can be printed in front of an MC faculty/staff member (include signature and date if you are a witness to the print) from another schools website (like MyMC), mailed or brought in-person by student, or faxed directly from the previous institution to MC.

- If the Admissions & Records staff needs additional assistance validating the English courses, the student will be referred to the campus English Department.

The new FAUV codes DO NOT remove the burden of checking prerequisites, so as an individual instructor, you may be asked for a prerequisite override. The burden of prerequisite checking is different by department and campus, so depending on your department’s system, students may seek signatures/Banner overrides from you. Please ask to see students’ unofficial transcripts before granting permission.

Prerequisite change for BI203

Until Spring 2010 when the change to exclude Chemistry as a prerequisite for BI203 becomes official, the Biology Faculty MAY allow students who have completed BI107 but not the Chemistry prerequisite to enter BI203. Please send these students to the department for approval.
