This is true for everyone. It’s part of the Core.

If you’ve taken Spanish before and you decide to take a placement exam upon matriculating at Columbia, you can place out of the requirement if you show you are at the 3rd year level or beyond. The 4 semesters refers to the first 4 semesters of a language.

So for example, take my situation. I placed out of the first year of my language taking the placement exam, so I only have two semesters of that language before I’m done with the requirement.
