Dumb question - why didn't you just start taking foreign language courses earlier? Did you not know that they were a requirement?
I knew about the language requirement but did not understand how much different it was than other colleges. See, the college I transferred from like most of them only required the 9cr hours to complete the requirement. Everyone I knew just did one 16week accelerated course. I thought that would be the case with this so I put it off because I was not looking forward to the class. On top of that I thought I could take an accelerated course locally because there is a university here that offers a 9 credit course that knocks it out. But nope the college wont take anything that does not line up 100% with their crappy requirement.
I just cannot believe how the University does not see this as a problem. Its one thing that its 16cr and a complete rip off to take that many credits but the other thing is that it complete messes everything up across the board. If you transfer in they throw half of your language credits out because they are 3cr instead of 4cr. If you do screw up and don't start your freshmen year there is no oh crap I screwed up pity pass class that is offered at just about every college in the US. No instead you get punished and need to spend a year taking 4 classes. How can you not offer an accelerated course??? Other colleges saw students getting stuck and offered a solution. If I had an in person accelerated class I could get my pity C.
So I did some digging and apparently my school will accept a placement test from PeopleSoft called Webcape. People on duolingo are saying its fairly easy but I have not been able to find any study material.
