American Sign Language!

<p>I want to have this class as my foreign language requirement. However, the class is full and there is no waitlist.... Is there any chance that I will get in?? Has anyone ever taken ASL at UVA? How was it? Thank you.</p>

<p>I’ve heard really good things about ASL. But I don’t know anything about the waitlist. Have you emailed the prof?</p>

<p>I tried getting into asl at one of the earliest orientations. However, I wasn’t allowed to because you have to be at least a second year to take it and then I also learned that it doesn’t fulfil your foreign language requirement as it is “American” sign language.</p>

<p>I am a first year enrolled in ASL, and I was told that it does meet the foreign language requirement for CLAS. Hope that was correct info! It is listed on the requirements page.</p>

<p>Yes it is on the official CLAS page still. I wonder who told you it does not count?

<p>yeah - i saw it on that page before orientation, so when I got there I was really confused and disappointed when I wasnt able to enroll, especially because there were 7 open seats!</p>

<p>The lady who told me this was one of the advisors/people-in-charge who did the actual registering of classes at orientation after the OL’s checked to see if the classes were available.</p>

<p>Now I’m stuck in French :(</p>
