so im a senior in business mgt and i waited till my last year to take my spanish. per requirements, you have to have up to fls 201 (or equiv.) to grad. unfortunately, id hate to have this class bring down a somewhat decent gpa....

so my question is, can i just take fls 102 for credit only and still get into 201? (i think ive heard from others that you can take 201 for credit only, but not 102 as you need a C- or better...)

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks for the help!

To answer your question, the courses do not require a grade from the prereqs. For the graduation requirement, a grade is not required either ... credit is sufficient. See references below.
