Validating Credit

If you begin your language study here at the second semester or higher level, you can take advantage of our validating credit policy to earn credit for prior language courses. 

Upon receiving a grade of A or B in a validating course (see below), you will be granted credit for up to two of the immediately preceding basic skills courses. In order to receive this credit, you need to come by the Languages, Cultures, and International Trade office - Faner 2166 - to complete a Validating Credit form.
