Credits earned through the Foreign Language Placement & Credit Test do not satisfy the World Cultures General Education Requirement.

Credit which a student has earned through College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests may, in certain circumstances, be recognized by UND. See the Admissions Office for requirements.

Students who have completed French, German, Latin, or Spanish Advanced Placement (AP) courses with appropriate scores may also receive credit. This credit is normally equivalent to Levels I and II in that language. . . .

Regularly enrolled students with knowledge gained through independent study or with prior language study at an unaccredited institution may apply to take Validating or Challenge Examinations to establish appropriate credit. . . .

Native speakers of a language other than English who wish to take classes in that language may enroll without special permission in any 400-level course, or in any 300- level course which emphasizes literary or cultural topics. Native speakers must obtain the permission of the department, however, to enroll in any 300-level course which emphasizes language instruction, or in any lower-division course. Incoming students whose native language (as indicated on their TOEFL exam) is one offered at UND should consult the Director of the Language Laboratory (M-306) about automatic waiver of the language placement examination.
