  2. Confirming course numbers are 201, 204 (SPAN) or a 300-400 level course (excluding phonetics) in FREN, GERM or SPAN at UNK;
  3. The student must receive a letter grade of "B" or better in the confirming course and may not repeat the course for the purpose of requesting credits under this policy;
  4. A maximum of 6 credits may be granted in any one language for previous high school or non-college work at a level lower than the confirming course.
