Establishment of Foreign
Language Proficiency for Non-Native Speakers of English
Students whose native language is not English
may fulfill the foreign language requirement through demonstrated proficiency
in their first language. International
students who graduated from a high school that conducted classes in a language
other than English may use transcripts, diplomas, national exam results, or leaving
certificates issued by the Ministry of Education to establish
proficiency. Students must provide official
documents and a notarized English translation of them for review by the
College before the end of the student’s junior year. To
begin a proficiency review, students should complete the form at http://college.indiana.edu/recorder/forms.shtml and submit it with
the pertinent documentation at the College of Arts and Sciences Recorder’s
Office, Kirkwood Hall, Room 001. Students
who successfully demonstrate foreign language proficiency will be notified
within approximately 14 business days via e-mail. The College will also notify the Office of
the Registrar and the Indiana
University Bloomington General Education Program at that time.
