If the Seal of Biliteracy is on your high school transcript, you will receive college credit at Rhode Island College!
You will receive credit for a relevant 113-level language course (4 credits), which will satisfy the college’s second language requirement. ($418 per credit = a savings of approximately $1,672)
You will receive credit for a relevant 113 and 114-level language course (totaling 8 credits), which will satisfy the college's second language requirement. ($418 per credit = a savings of approximately $3,344)
Please Note: If you satisfy the requirements but the Seal of Biliteracy isn’t on your transcript, please have your school counselor email us with your name and the level you’ve achieved. We will waive the high school foreign language requirement and award college credit! If your state does not award Gold/Silver levels, score reports from official testing agencies that show Advanced-Low/Intermediate-Mid may be used to determine the Seal level from your state.
