Notes:
  1. Courses are offered synchronously (where everyone is online at the same time).
  2. *All students (including native speakers of a language) with experience in a language other than English may earn "back credits." These students may take any UH West Oʻahu language course, appropriate to their level, in which there is significant use of that language. "Appropriate level" of a language will be determined by placement exam, division policy and/or the concentration’s chair or advisor. "Significant use" of a language will be determined by the course content. Upon completion of this course, if students earn a letter grade of C (not C-) or better, they may receive between 3-16 back credits.
