Notes
Credits earned in a first-year, first-term language do not count in satisfying HSSA graduation requirements unless the second course in the sequence is also completed successfully.
Students who have completed high school courses in German, Japanese or Spanish can get credit-by-examination for their knowledge by completing subsequent advanced level courses.
Students may earn credit for third and fourth year language courses taken as part of study abroad.
Students may apply only one (1) transfer course toward a minor. Exceptions may be made with the approval of the minor advisor.
