English Composition Overrides
The purpose of the ENC Override Request form is to assist new incoming UCF Knights who are receiving an enrollment error when trying to register for any classes taught by the College of Arts and Humanities requiring either ENC1101 (English Composition I) or ENC1102 (English Composition II) as prerequisites.
Reach out to your Academic Success Coach (ASC) directly for questions and information regarding overrides.
Who Can Submit an ENC Override Request?
The ENC Override Request Form can only be completed by new incoming UCF students – You should only submit an override request if:
- You have not yet started your first full semester at UCF (Fall or Spring)
- Your incoming credit for ENC 1101 and/or ENC 1102 has not yet posted to your student record, resulting in a prerequisite error when attempting to enroll
- You are trying to enroll in an Arts and Humanities course that requires ENC 1101/1102. Overrides for non CAH courses that require ENC 1101/1102 are handled by the college that offers the course
Courses Taught by Other Colleges
The College of Arts and Humanities can only provide class overrides into courses that are taught by our college, where classes taught by other colleges requiring ENC1101 or ENC1102 as prerequisites will need to be overridden by that college specifically. To get an override into courses taugh outside of the College of Arts and Humanities, you must connect with that college directly to request an override.
If you are uncertain which college teaches a particular course, you can find that information within the UCF Course Description List by:
- Selecting the class Prefix, then the Course
- Confirming the course’s Prerequisites include ENC1101 and/or ENC1102
- Identifying the Academic College that teaches the course that you are seeking an override for
Contact information for UCF Academic Colleges can be found on the Academic Success Coaching – Connect website. If you are uncertain where and when to submit an override request, reach out to your Academic Success Coach (ASC) directly for questions information regarding overrides and equivalencies.

- Overrides are only granted for a student’s initial semester (Fall or Spring) at UCF. For all subsequent enrollment, official credits and test scores must be posted to your record
- Students must check their UCF email after submission for next steps
