FL:
If you want to count these credits towards your FL requirement, you need to first take a language placement test with the language program after returning from study abroad. Please contact the corresponding program coordinator for a placement test. Whether an FL can be given depends on the placement test result. For example, if one student finishes JPN203 and JPN 204 in Japan and is placed at JPN305 after coming back to Duke, two FL credits (JPN203 & JPN204) will be granted. If the student is unfortunately placed at JPN204, only one FL credit (JPN203) will be given.
*Students need to submit a separate document for FL.
Please google 'Duke FL code form' to find the PDF file. After your placement test result is reviewed and approved by Dr. Chen, please fill out and submit the PDF file to him for a signature.
Justifications for the FL form
First of all, please make sure that you have already taken a placement test with the corresponding program and have been placed at the next level.
If it is cleared, on the FL form, please state that you have taken a placement test with the corresponding language program after returning to Duke and have been successfully placed at the next level (regardless of whether you are currently taking the next level language course at Duke).
Also state that your course was reviewed and approved by the corresponding language program.
