The general guidelines for students with previous formal study of a language are:
Students should enroll in 101 if: only junior high language study or one year in senior high or 3 or more years since most recent completion of a class in that language.
Students should enroll in 102 if: 2 years of senior high language study and less than 3 years since the last enrollment in that language.
Students should enroll in 102 or 201 if: 3 years of senior high language study.
Students should enroll in 201, 202 or 301 if: 4 or more years of senior high language study.

Students who have doubts about their placement should consult with foreign language faculty prior to registration.

Entering freshmen who begin study of a language below the 200-level should not expect to complete a major program in four (4) years. FORL courses at the 100- and 200-level are designed for non-native speakers of the language.

100-level courses are intended for students who are beginning their study of a language, and who have no (or minimal) prior formal experience with that language; heritage speakers or individuals who have previous study of a language will receive credits for the initial course in the 100-level series (101) ONLY by permission of the FORL Department. Those with prior study, heritage speakers, and those in doubt should consult a FORL Department adviser prior to registration. Native speakers of a language may take 100- or 200-level courses in the same language ONLY by permission of the FORL Department faculty and may NOT earn credits by examination for any course below 301.
