Foreign Language Policy

Students may transfer six hours in any recognized language taken at an accredited institution, as long as it is six hours in the same language and subject to CU’s standards for transfer credit. All foreign students from Non-English speaking countries who make an acceptable score on the TOEFL may be exempt from the GEC Foreign Language Requirement since they have already acquired a foreign language. If the student graduated from an English speaking high school the student is considered English speaking.

Students who have successfully completed two or more years of Spanish on the high school level can take a standardized placement test (ACTFL). The fee would be paid by the student and CU faculty will determine the appropriate hours of CU Foreign Language credit based on the students’ test scores.
