The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has taken any 100-level (introductory) language courses prior to the first semester shown in the plan. The student MUST begin their second year at or above the 200-level of their studied language.
