In each course satisfying the Language ULR, the following evidence is assessed to determine if you have satisfied the outcomes for the ULR.
You can also meet the requirements for this ULR through assessment of prior learning. Independent assessment assumes that you have already attained mastery of the outcomes. It is not an independent study nor placement.
You must enroll in the necessary assessment courses. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you need to enroll simultaneously in the 101, 102, 201, and 202 assessment sections of the language of choice. Individual assessment is conducted by trained assessors.
Independent assessment is currently available in Arabic, Cantonese, Chinese, French, Farsi, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
For students with learning disabilities (officially documented by Student Disability Resources (SDR); Building 47, First Floor, East), alternative pathways to the language ULR are available. Depending on your status upon entry to CSUMB (freshman/sophomore or junior/senior transfer students), you may petition the Lang ULR Committee for approval. For further information, please contact SDR.
