Students who complete (with a grade of "C" or better) a French, German, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, or Spanish course numbered 201 or higher (excluding 209, 210, 211, and 212) and who have received no AP credit, transfer credit, and no prior credit at UNCW in that language, shall be granted supplemental credit as follows:
- For completion of a 200-level course, the student will receive 3 credit hours for the prior course in the sequence. For completion of SPN 215, the student will receive 3 credit hours for SPN 201.
- For completion of a 300 level course in French, German, or Latin, the student will receive 6 credit hours for 201 and 202.

This credit may be used to fulfill University Studies requirements.
Students with previous foreign language credit through AP, CLEP, or Transfer, may choose to take the UNCW placement exam for their respective language if they feel they can perform at a higher level than the courses that they are transferring.
If a student has successfully completed or is registered in a 200-level course (excluding literature and culture classes taught in English), she or he may not take for credit (either concurrently or subsequently) a 100-level course in the same language.
If a student has successfully completed or is registered in a 300- or 400- level course, she or he may not take for credit (either concurrently or subsequently) a 100-level course or a course numbered 201 or 202 in the same language. Exceptions to this rule may be granted under special circumstances and with special permission from the instructor of the course(s) and the department chair.
