I need some help with something. I want to apply to UGA, and one of the requirements is that I must have two sequential years of Foreign Language. I don’t know if that just means two semesters or two full school years of the same language. I’ve already taken 3 French courses, but do I need one more to have the full two sequential years?
Two sequential years means two full years without a break.
Usually that means two years (not two semesters) or completion of the high school year two or higher course. But ask the college specifically if it is not clear to you what it means.
UGA specifies their requirements in terms of Carnegie units. Each Carnegie unit is the equivalent of a one-year HS course.

Not sure if this would help, but my school’s foreign language classes are called Spanish I or Spanish II, just as an example. They last for one semester each. They are not called Year One Spanish or Year Two Spanish, so I am not that familiar with what a Year Two course is. So if I had to take two years of a language, I would have to take my French I, II, III, and IV classes without a break?
A year 2 course in other high schools would be semesters III and IV in your high school.
Thank you! This really helped me out.
Yes, you’d be expected to take French I, II, III, IV in that system.
