*Capstone course for majors (1 hour--SPAN A495 "Special Project")

Any student who comes in from high school with competencies beyond what is required (e.g., a student who took AP Spanish literature but did not receive the score to obtain college credit does not need to take SPAN A305) will still need to meet the basic MFLL requirements of 30 hours in the major, 24 at the 300/400 level, but that student does not need to meet the course-specific program requirement.  These exceptions, other than for placement beyond any or all of the first 4 basic and intermediate courses, should be documented in the advising file.
