The Council on Language Instruction has established the rule that Pass / No Pass registration is not allowed in any of the first- and second-year language classes in French, German, Italian, Japanese (Japanese I beginning Winter 2005; Japanese II beginning Spring 2005); and Spanish regardless of whether students take this class in fulfillment of the language requirement or not. Since language classes require daily work in and outside of the classroom, this rule is to ensure that all students come prepared to class so that they can progress with the rest of the class.
If a student has very compelling reasons to take a language course in French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish, under the Pass / No Pass option, the student should consult with their instructor and the Coordinator or Director of the language program. In certain circumstances, a Co-Chair of the CLI may also be consulted.
Pass / No Pass registration in first- and second-year language classes may be allowed in language programs other than French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish (e.g. Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Portuguese, Russian etc.) if the student is NOT using the language class to fulfill the six-quarter WCAS foreign language requirement or a language major or minor requirement in WCAS.
If not otherwise stated in the course description, language courses beyond the first two years can be taken Pass / No pass unless the courses are counted towards a language major or minor.
The council urges students in colleges other than WCAS to check with their advisers to see whether any language course taken for P/N will satisfy the language requirement of their college or degree, or the requirements for a major or a minor in those colleges.
