Foreign language requirement question

[dfrecore]

I took all 4 ACTFL exams for my native language. While they did accept all the credits, none were granted UL. It just took care of the foreign language requirement. Everything else was a general elective, but I was also able to use them for an International Studies Minor (I had most of the other courses for that already also).

So are you saying that you passed all 4 exams at the highest levels? And did UMPI give you full credit for all of them? (I think it's 36cr total).

Yes, I scored at the highest level on all 4. UMPI technically gave me all the credits, but I only needed 3 for the GEC. Even with the extra 6 I needed for the IS minor, I had an awful lot that were just sitting there as general electives that I didn't need. And again, nothing came over as UL.

It's good to know how they come in, so thank you.

For someone who has very few credits, but is fluent in a language available on ACTFL, you can get a ton of LL credit (as opposed to TESU, who awards UL credit that can be used in the AoS for a BALS).  But with the price of UMPI, this is still a great deal for some people.
