Credit Information

If a student's assessment places them above the beginning level, results will be entered into their records. Students do not receive academic credit for the entry-level class; if a student places into the Intermediate level [201 or higher] the WLC general credit requirement will be waived by the student’s major advisor /chair upon successful completion of the student’s major. The credits not used towards the WLC language requirement [8-10 credits for first year and additional 8 if testing out of the second year language course] can be used towards the student's major or a complementary minor.

Please note: Students need to give a hard copy of the results to their major advisor. Students must adhere to their department policy regarding additional language proficiency requirements.
