Incoming students who intend to enroll for the first time in a French, Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, or Latin course at Texas A&M University, who have previous knowledge, however acquired, of the language in which they plan to enroll, and who have no college credit in the language, must take a placement test to determine the appropriate course for their level of ability. The foreign language placement test also serves as a basis for credit by examination.
Students will be expected to complete the 201 and 202 language courses in sequence before taking upper-division courses. Those who already have a high level of proficiency may either request an examination for credit in the courses or begin with a higher level course with approval of instructor. Once, however, students register for a higher-level language course, they are no longer eligible to receive credit for prerequisite courses.
International students whose native language is not English are exempted from satisfying the University foreign language requirement. These students are not allowed to register for courses in their native language (101, 102) which are used to fulfill that requirement.
