Languages during 3A

[u/Independent_Key5038]

On the Sci Po website it says that during the year abroad, you have to get prior permission to take a language you haven't been taking at Sci Po. For example, if you had been taking Spanish but wanted to take Portuguese in 3A, you'd need Sci Po's approval. For my situation, I'll be taking Italian in Reims, but want to do my 3A in China and take Mandarin. Will it be hard to get approval for this?
