Understanding the Policies & Key Terms

Number of Years of ASL Study:

ASL Studies Satisfies Admissions Requirements:

Yes means taking ASL while in high school satisfies foreign / world language requirements for admission to the institution.

No means the institution does not accept ASL to satisfy foreign/world language requirements for admission to the institution.

No language pre-requisite means the institution does not require a high school student to study any foreign / world language in order to be granted admission.

ASL Satisfies Graduation Requirements:

Yes means taking ASL for the required number of years will satisfy graduation requirements. In most cases, this means the student does not need to take any further foreign / world language courses once admitted to the institution.

No means the institution does not permit ASL courses taken in high school to satisfy graduation requirements. All students may need to take a specified amount of foreign / world language credits (such as one semester, or a full year-long course). EXCEPTIONS: 1) Some schools in this category will accept ASL taken in high school if it was for dual enrollment credit. 2) Some schools allow students to transfer college-level ASL credits taken at a different institution to fulfill graduation requirements. In these cases, information about the exceptions is provided in the Notes section.

Depends on Major means the institution has different policies regarding whether ASL taken in high school fulfills graduation requirements. Some degree programs leading to a B.A. degree may require taking additional foreign / world language courses, whereas those pursuing a B.S. degree will find taking ASL in high school fulfills the graduation requirements. Further information is provided in the Notes section of each institution’s policies profile.
