A student entering with high school foreign language training must enroll in language courses as follows: a) After one year of language study in high school, Course 2 or 3 of that language; b) After two years, Course 4; c) After three years, Course 5 or 6. Special examination for foreign residenceStudents who have had foreign residence may, with the consent of the department, obtain up to 24 hours of special foreign language credit.

Credit obtained by special examination is usually not transferable to other institutions. Students having two or more years of foreign resi- 134 dence will not be permitted to take classes numbered below 101 without the consent of the Department.
