Foreign Lang. Req.?

<p>Can you test out of your native language(for ppl whose English as a 2nd lang.)courses by taking a proficiency exam or earning credit by exams?
If so, can you get letter grades out of your transcript? Besides, how many credits do you get?</p>

<p>I don't know your specific situation, but one of the two links below should answer your question:</p>

<p>When you take proficiency exams for credit, you won't get a grade. You simply get credit hours based on the level you get placed at.</p>
