Foreign Language Advanced Standing Credit Sign-up
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.)
Note:
There is no fee for the Foreign Language Placement exam and no tuition or fees will be charged for credit awarded through advanced standing. The placement test must be taken by the last date on which the course may be added during the semester of enrollment.
