Foreign language courses from previous institutions will be entered on a student's record with the articulation ELEC, which represents elective credit. If a transfer student wishes to apply the course towards a degree language requirement, or wishes to receive AU equivalent or subject elective credit, the student must take the appropriate placement exam and send the results to the WLC Program Advisor at wlcprogramadvisor@american.edu for review. If a student does not demonstrate minimum proficiency for the subject articulations by passing the language placement exam, the courses that are not validated will remain ELEC.
