What is the retro credit policy?
If you begin a language at the third semester level or higher and earn at least a C- in a University-Twin Cities course, you can request “retro credit” for the lower-level courses in the sequence, with the exception of the first semester. So, if you take Fren 1004 in the fall, once a grade is posted you can see your adviser to request retro credit for Fren 1002 and 1003. Retro credits are only awarded based on completed UM course work, not on placement test results.
