Foreign Language Sustitution Package
The Foreign Language Substitution package is for students who have a documented disability in foreign language acquisition.
The Spring 2010 deadline to submit a completed application is *Friday, February 12, 2010*. Completed applications will be accepted starting *Tuesday, January 19, 2010*.
The Disabilities Curricular Accommodations Committee (DCAC) of the College of Letters and Science can approve a substitution to the foreign language requirement for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in Letters and Science only with certain disabilities that make a course substitution appropriate. Extensive and very specific documentation is required from students and disability specialists. McBurney Center staff will help you determine what documentation is necessary for the application, as well as assess whether additional testing is required.
Students are encouraged to file the application early (for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, no later than the fourth week of their third semester in residence; for senior transfers, no later than the fourth week of their first semester in residence, excluding summer sessions). The Committee meets once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester. *It does not meet in the summer*.
Please note that students who apply in their senior year may delay graduation. Students should submit application materials only during the semester they wish their application to be considered.
