<p>Let me ask this better.</p>
<p>IF I took two years of a foreign language in high school, would I need to take it again or complete more? It says, taking the 4th level of a different language is a requirement to graduate. </p>
<p>4th level is 4 years I'm assuming?</p>
<p>I took 3 years of FL in high school and it fulfilled my requirement, so it should roll over.</p>
<p>Two years is required for admission. It is to your advantage to have more in high school. For example if you have four years you meet the university requirement for liberal arts & sciences and thus do not need to take language at UIUC; if in engineering you only need three high school years to skip language in college. If you finish only two high school years then you must take language at UIUC to be able to graduate from UIUC. You need to complete the fourth level for LAS, meaning the fourth semester of college language and they count one high school year as equalling one semester of college language, so you would need to take the 3rd and 4th semester level in college, meaning one year total; if engineering you need to complete only 3rd level or one additonal semester in college.</p>
<p>I assume Business is the same as LAS. You need 4 years of language in High school otherwise you will be required to take a foreign language at UIUC?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be be able to take a different language and just finish two semesters of it? Since I already have 2 years of a foreign language in high school? It can only be one language right and it has to be in the 4th level?</p>
<p>It is has to be the same foreign language to count. You have to complete what they consider 4th level for LAS which means the fourth semester level of the language in college or the four years in high school of a single language.</p>
<p>As to other question above, business college also requires either four years of high school language or completion of fourth semester in college.</p>
<p>I’m guessing If I transfer to a school that doesn’t require you to send your high school transcript they would not care very much about your foreign language? Couldn’t you just like lie about it that way? and claim you took all 4 years in high school?</p>
<p>UIUC and all colleges I am aware of do require high school transcript of a transfer and transfers are subject to same language rules as others at UIUC.</p>
<p>4th year of language means taking the 4th level course and passing, not necessarily 4 semesters</p>
<p>I just wanted to add that in addition to engineering, specialized chemistry and biochemistry have a third year language requirement too.</p>
