General Prerequisites:

 

• Students who have successfully completed or have been exempted from all first-year compulsory English courses and are at least in their 2^nd year can apply to take elective courses in the Department of Modern Languages.

 

• Fourth year students cannot register for elective language courses with the code 201 (except elective English courses).

 

• Students can register for only one course from Department of Modern Languages in one semester.

 

• Students can only take one foreign language as an elective and they can continue to take more advanced levels of that language course. Such students will be given priority if they want to take the continuum of that language course.

 

• The Department can refuse to register students who have failed (FF, FD) or withdrawn from an elective language and who want to retake the course to increase their CGPA. Priority will be given to students who will take the course for the first time.

 

• Students cannot register as NI (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grade) for courses with codes 201-202. However if the course quota is not full, students can register as NI for more advanced courses.

 

• Attendance is mandatory. Conflict of hours with other courses is not an acceptable excuse for non-attendance.

 

•  Students must have a CGPA of minimum 2.00, in order to be accepted for the elective courses.

 

Application and Registration:

 

Students apply for an elective language course in the first class meeting during which the instructor will distribute elective cards. The Department will determine the number of students for each course. Students accepted for the course complete their registration during the Add/Drop period.

 

Instructor's approval is required to complete registration to all the elective language courses. The instructor gives approval by signing the elective card. Adviser approval will not be given to students who do not have instructor's signature on their elective cards.
