<p>I know that the Claremonts don't have classes during the summer, but does anyone know if you could take a summer school course at a UC or State University and have it count towards your degree at Scripps?</p>
<p>I guess if the answer is no, then if you wanted to study a second foreign language you could use a summer school class at another college so that you would test at a higher level in a language placement exam.</p>

<li><p>Yes, you can take summer school elsewhere and have the credits transfer. Call the registrar before you make your plans so that you're sure about this, because not everything is transferable. </p></li>
<li><p>There are some classes offered on Claremont through the summer. I know that Pitzer has summer school (Mudd has summer math, but this is different). I'm not sure of any of the other schools. Scripps does not hold classes.</p></li>
<li><p>I'm not positive re: foreign language rules. You can test out of it based on SAT2 scores or test out (or into a higher level) based on a placement test. As for a college-level language course getting you out of the requirement, I'm not sure whether it would or whether you'd still need to take the test (as you say). Definitely worth a call/email to the registrar (<a href="mailto:registrar@scrippscollege.edu">registrar@scrippscollege.edu</a>, I believe). </p></li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
