If a student takes a course at a higher level of language acquisition and then drops back to a lower level, the lower level course will not be counted toward the student's degree requirements. It makes no difference when this occurs; that is, whether the course is taken several years after taking the higher level language course or whether the two courses are taken simultaneously. So, for example, if a student takes CHIN 3110 (Advanced Chinese 1) and drops back to CHIN 2110 and 2120 (Intermediate Chinese 1 & 2), they will not get credit for any/all courses taken at a level lower than CHIN 3110, the student's previous level of completion. *The loss of credit does not mean that the student will lose the grade for the course but the credits will not be counted either toward hours in the major or hours toward the degree. Note that this policy pertains specifically to Foreign Language Courses.*
