<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I read that the Foreign Language requirement can be fulfilled in the following manner: " A grade of C- or better in the third year of a high school foreign language."</p>
<p>I took a foreign language in grades 8, 9 and 10 and got a grade better than C- in grade 10. Will that fulfil this requirement or does one need to take the foreign language during three years of high school (ie 9,10,11 or 10,11,12)?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Your grade in the level 3 or higher course is what matters.</p>
<p>I’m confused. The level terminology is not used at my school. It is compulsory for students at my school to take the foreign language course from grades 1 to 10. So, will the grade 10 course help fulfil this requirement?</p>
<p>If you went to a public or private high school in California, you can look up what level your 10th grade course was in the context of UC/CSU a-g requirements at <a href=“http://doorways.ucop.edu”>http://doorways.ucop.edu</a> .</p>
<p>However, if you started in elementary school, then it is likely that you are beyond the typical high school level 3 (most students in the US start level 1 of a foreign language in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade). Check the language department of the language for placement testing into high level courses of the language.</p>
