Announcement of Courses

(See specific course entries for Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Pilipino, Russian and Spanish.)

In foreign language conversation courses, the course numbers and letters follow in sequence. A student who has completed a course with a grade of A, B, C, or CR may not re-register for the same course (unless repetition is specifically permitted), nor may he/she register for a course with a lower number or letter unless otherwise indicated.

Certain languages offer an advisory placement test to help students determine their level of language ability.  Following consultation with the advisor in that language, the student may sign an agreement which will permit the granting of credit for the previous level course of that language, provided the student enrolls in the recommended level and completes the course with a grade of A or B.  For further information contact the Foreign Language Department.
