| The native of a country where German is the current
and official language may not enroll for credit in German 101,
102, 201 or 205 before taking a placement test to determine credit
and placement. A student who has some high school credit in German
and selects German for study at the University must take a placement
test in German and register in the course appropriate to the score
on the test (regardless of amount of credits earned in high school).
Credit is granted for all courses numbered lower than the course
in which the student is placed. It is recommended that a student
with German credits earned at another college take the placement
tests for guidance in scheduling.
