Students who have previous language experience are required to take a placement/credit test in that language on the first-class day in any first-semester class (1410).

It is recommended that students should not advance from one course to the next in the sequence 1410, 1420, 2310, 2320 without having earned at least a C in the previous course. In Spanish, students must earn at least a C in each course (SPAN 1410, 1420, 2310, and 2320) to proceed to the next course.
