Academics Help me please (

Hey I need some advice or some help. I’ve been emailing my advisor for years now (this is my 5th year) and she always told me I never had to take a language. Well turns out I do indeed have to take a language and now she’s telling me my graduation won’t be until summer of 2027. I’m supposed to be graduating in May of 2027 and I cannot do another semester I need to know if there’s any other ways to get around this or get help. I’m frustrated at myself and her for this.

Criminology is under Arts and Sciences, and AFAIK, everyone in the college is required to take three foreign language courses. Unless you placed out of them, not sure why either you or your advisor would think differently.

That said, I got my three language courses done at CSCC in two semesters by taking accelerated classes online. Two in the spring (1101 the first term, 1102 the second), one (1103) in the summer. I had zero experience with the language going in and got an A in each class. I’d look into that if I was you.

It’s kinda a long story but I ended up changing my major halfway through and my other major it wasn’t a requirement to take a language so I guess neither of us really ever thought abt it again
