a) The confirming course must be the first university-level course completed in the language and must be taken at UNK;

b) Confirming course numbers are 101, 200, 201 or a 300-400 level course (excluding phonetics) in French, German or Spanish at UNK.

c) The student must receive a letter grade of "C" or better in the confirming course and may not repeat the course for the purpose of requesting credits under this policy;

d) A maximum of 16 credits may be granted in any one language for previous high school or non-college level work at a level lower than the confirming course.
