<p>Could high school's language courses be used to satisfy the IGETC's "Language Other than English" requirement for UCs?</p>
<p>If so, would my grades for these courses negatively impact my application? Would they factor into my GPA?</p>
<p>(1st year) Spanish 1 - C
(1st year) Spanish 2 - C
(2nd year) Spanish 3 - D
(2nd year) Spanish 4 - C</p>
<p>I'm currently not attending a JC by the way; I'm just planning everything-out beforehand.</p>
<p>These are APs right?</p>
<p>No, these are not AP courses.</p>
<p>You can not use them, sorry.</p>
<p>“For IGETC’s foreign language requirement, 2 years of one FL in high school would be acceptable.”</p>
<p>Interesting, here (above) a counselor from one of the UCs sent to me in an email. I was wondering if anyone did this before.</p>
<p>It’s also listed on the website:</p>
<p>Proficiency in a Language Other Than English</p>
<p>Students may demonstrate proficiency for the purpose of fulfilling the Language Other Than English IGETC requirement in one of the following ways:</p>
<pre><code>* Complete two years of high school coursework in one language other than English with a grade of C or better.

<p>How are you able to take 4 years of Spanish in 2 years…</p>
<p>IIRC high school language classes are 1 year in length each. </p>
<p>Unless you mean </p>
<p>Spanish 1-1st semester c 2nd semester c
Spanish 2-1st semester d 2nd semester c</p>
<p>If that the case than your screwed for the high school portion but if you actually got a C in 1+2 then your fine all you need is 2 years</p>
<p>No, Spanish 1-1st semester c, Spanish 2-2nd semester c etc…</p>
<p>Wow your school compacts a year of language class into 1 semester? dam</p>
<p>Than you are fine but i would ask a U.C rep for sure</p>
<p>Well thing is, it’s the IGETC we’re talking about. IGETC’s are certified by your CC, not the UCs. </p>
<p>In my case, I studied high school abroad (ESL here) but my CC won’t give me credit for LOTE, just because there ain’t anyone who could test me. I even brought my transcripts from 1st grade till HS for them to see lol.</p>
<p>Yes high school foreign language WILL count for IGETC even if they are not AP’s. I just got my IGETC certified last month. You have to give your CC an official high school transcript though. But i am not sure about that D that you received. You should consult with your counselor on that issue.</p>
<p>What if you took Spanish 2 in Highschool but took Spanish 1 in Middle school – does that qualify as two years of “high school coursework” ?</p>
<p>^yes. that’s what i did to, but i went up to spanish 3 in 10th grade. when UCs say u need 2 years in a foreign language, they don’t actually mean u have to take TWO years of it. you just need to take the equivalent of a second yr level class or higher. so if you’re mexican and just skipped spanish 1 and 2 and started out at spanish 3, then that’s ok.</p>
