The Department of Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies awards and recognizes credit through examination in French, German and Spanish. Any student officially enrolled at Salisbury University may be granted credits through the Advanced Placement (AP) or CLEP exam. 

All students who have not earned university academic credit in a language, either through the AP, CLEP, or a credit-bearing course, are encouraged to take the departmental placement exam (CAPE) in that language to assist in determining proper initial placement level.

Students who have not yet earned university academic credit in a language may purchase credit for courses below the level of the first course in that language completed for credit with a grade of a C or better.  Credits for courses below the level of the first course completed for credit with a grade of C or better may be purchased at the current rate posted at the cashier's office. 

Credits will be awarded as designated in the following chart.  Beginning with the academic year 2008 - 2009, the majors and minors in all languages begin at the 202 level.

For complete details regarding credit by examination, please refer to the official policies as found in the Salisbury University Undergraduate & Graduate Catalog:

* Credits may be purchased only AFTER a C or better is earned in an appropriate course based on the CAPE.
