5.  A minimum C grade must be earned to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement. Students may also fulfill this requirement by
     earning a minimum C grade in any of the language-specific Advanced Translation Practice course or in language specific-
     elective that is designated as writing-intensive.

Major Note: Students are expected to start in a course appropriate to their language proficiency level. Students lacking in sufficient proficiency to take the first concentration course can reach it by taking courses in the prerequisite sequence based on their placement score and high school training. One or more of the prerequisites may be waived with demonstrated proficiency through the Kent State placement test, AP, CLEP, International Baccalaureate, official ACTFL Proficiency Rating or another department-approved assessment.

Students who fulfill the college language requirement in fewer than 8 credit hours as a result of proficiency, will complete remaining hours with general electives. Completion of first junior-level course completes the College of Arts and Sciences foreign language requirements.
