Modern Language Requirement

Although Saint Michael’s College has a language proficiency requirement, we recognize that some students have learning disabilities that affect the way they learn languages. 

If you have a language-based disability or a disability that affects language learning, and if you provide current and comprehensive documentation of it, we will do our best to provide you with the course and accommodations you need to succeed in your study of a modern language.  Modified options would be available to you at the onset of your sophomore year. 

If you are currently enrolled in a modern language this semester, meet with the Director of Accessibility Services early in the semester to discuss the options available to you, including taking the course on a pass/fail basis.

If you are not currently enrolled in a modern language, be sure to discuss options for the future with the Director. She will explore what course of study in the Department of Modern Languages will best suit your learning styles and needs.
