Students intending to apply for admission to the ASL/English Interpreting program must earn a minimum grade of “B-” in all ASL/English Interpreting program courses, except for MATH 1030 or 1035, where a grade of “C” or higher will be accepted. Students are encouraged to take INTR 1000 as a general elective.

Students who hold a Seal of Biliteracy in ASL and possess a certificate verifying their proficiency level may request prior learning credit from the ASL department, provided the certificate was issued within the past two years. Otherwise, students will be required to take an ASL placement exam to determine current proficiency level.
