A student with a documented disability that impacts the acquisition of a second language to satisfy the current language liberal arts core requirement (B.A. students in the College for Women only) may petition for a second language requirement substitution (variance).

To qualify for a second language course substitution (variance), the student must meet with an access consultant in the Accessibility and Accommodations Department. The access consultant will:

• Review the student’s documentation of a disability
• If appropriate, make a recommendation for a course substitution (variance)
• Write a letter of support for a course substitution (variance)

The director of academic advising will determine substitute course(s) that correspond to the learner outcomes of a second language course.
