ASU ENG 101: First-Year Composition

A 3-credit Arizona State University course that high school students in any state can take online. Arizona's other two public universities publish how they count it; here is what they say. Outside Arizona, how it counts depends on each college on the student's list.

University of Arizona
Named course

The University of Arizona counts it as WRIT 101.

Published ruling: WRIT 101

Northern Arizona University
Elective credit

NAU counts it as elective credit (ENG Dept Elective), not as a specific course there.

Published ruling: ENG Dept Elective; Foundation Requirement [FNRQ]

[FNRQ]

What it costs

ASU charges $25 to start the course and $400 to add it to an official ASU transcript, only with a C or better and only if the family chooses. That is $425 for 3 college credits.

Taking it? The ENG 101 first-week kit covers the format, materials and exams.

Before you count on it

These rulings come from the AZTransfer course equivalency guide, read October 27, 2026. A ruling is what a university has published, not a promise for a particular student, and rulings change. Confirm with the college's own transfer evaluation, and colleges outside Arizona set their own rules.
