b) A student who completes any French, German, or Spanish course in the 1120-2120 sequence with a grade of CR, C-or better at UNO without having completed the previous courses may be granted credit for those previous courses.
c) A student who completes SPAN 1200 with a grade of CR, C- or better at UNO without having completed SPAN 1100 may be granted credit for the previous course.
