Placing out of language requirement

<p>Is it possible to place out of a language completely? I.e. - perform at a fluent level? And can we do this through the online tests?</p>

<p>I think you need to take the CASE exam for placement in courses above the 209 level.</p>

<p>yes i know spanish and got a Q++ on the language placement...which means i am proficient...but i still have to take a course that uses that language with literature or another media for my IR concentration...</p>

<p>I'm not a CAS so i'm not 100% sure what you are required to do...</p>

<p>"Outright waivers of the requirement are never granted. However, rarely and as appropriate, alternatives to language acquisition are approved. Legitimate requests for substitutions require strong, convincing evidence of inability to learn foreign languages in a classroom setting. A poor grade in a Cornell introductory language course or taking the LP exam repeatedly and unsuccessfully is not adequate evidence of disability."</p>

<p>Yeah, you should just take the CASE and take one semester of language. It's not that hard and it's actually fun and not too stressful.</p>
