Hi,
I have a question about the AP policy regarding foreign languages and the LCD requirement for graduation in Arts and Sciences school. If I get a 5 on the AP Spanish Exam, the policy states that it “Automatically grants 6 credits for Spanish 102D and 201D; students may enroll in a 300-level course conducted in the language.”

I know that we need 9 units of language for the Language path of the LCD requirement.

If I enroll in a 300-level Spanish course (and pass it, of course) would that mean I fulfilled the LCD requirement because I would get my 9 credits (6 from AP and 3 from taking the WUSTL course)?

I’m confused because I read somewhere that AP credits couldn’t count for core requirements or something! Thanks!
