Courses to Fulfill Language Requirement

Waiver Request

If you are a native speaker of a foreign language, or have extensive experience with a language other than English language, you may apply for a waiver by completing the Online Waiver Request Form once you complete a foreign language placement exam in a language we teach (Chinese, Filipino, French, German, Japanese and Spanish) on webtrack. If the language is not offered at USF, this step is not necessary.

For the most recent foreign language waiver form, please visit the Foreign Language Requirement Page and scroll to the bottom. You will find the active link for the semester.
