Academic Regulations for Foreign Language Advanced Standing Credit:

• The student must need the course to meet some requirement for a certificate or degree that is being pursued at OSU.
• The student must present a valid student I.D. at the time of examination, except during summer Freshman Enrollment programs.
• The amount of credit by exam that may be applied to a degree program is subject only to meeting the residence requirements of OSU. Credit earned by examination is not considered to be credit earned in residence.
• Credit will be recorded on a student's transcript with a grade of "P" (pass) after the student has earned 12 or more semester credit hours at OSU.
• A native speaker of a foreign language (one whose high school-level instruction was conducted principally in that language) cannot earn credit toward graduation in lower division (1000-2000 level) courses in that language. (Students may contact the dean of their college for possible exceptions to this requirement.)
