Denied reason

The decision to deny the acceptance of AP Seminar as an English requirement is twofold.  This course is only applied as an Elective credit if student has a high enough score at all three Tri-University schools.  Additionally; the AP curriculum and the school’s course descriptioN/Assignment breakdown does not demonstrate enough of the content of the course is English specific for it to fulfill an English requirement.
