Foreign language competency is a General Education requirement. The General Education foreign language requirement is noted as completed for students who earned a grade of 85 or better on the NYS Regents exam or who have earned AP credit in a foreign language. Students who earned below 85 or who did not take a foreign language in high school must complete the equivalent of Elementary level 2 to complete the General education requirement. Students who took foreign language in high school but did not take a Regents exam should indicate this to their academic advisor for further instructions.

If you are interested in continuing a language from high school we encourage you to use the chart below to determine which language class best suits your abilities.

Students may not register for Ita 100, Fre 101, nor Spn 100 if they had three years of the language in high school or if they passed the Regents exam within the past five years.

Students who are bilingual in Spanish, register for Spn 105 "Spanish for Bilinguals I." Students who are bilingual in Russian, register for Rus 103 "Russian for Bilingual Students I."

If the student has more than 4 years of language study in school, passed a "University in High School Program" language course please see your academic advisor for placement.
