ML Advanced Standing Credit
Modern Languages will grant 6 to 8 hours of credit in any language taught by the School for high school study in that language, provided the student has two or more years of high school credit in the language in question and has completed six semester hours at the 2000, 3000, or 4000 level with an average grade of C or higher. To have the credit entered on their records, students must submit the Modern Languages Proficiency Credit (Advanced Standing) form by to the School of Modern Languages for its approval, and pay $90 per course. No grade is attached to this credit, but the credit can fulfill the language requirement for graduation.
