In order to take Level 1000 CLS language courses, students must not have prior knowledge of the language (written or oral). If they have prior knowledge, they may take a <a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cls\/placement-tests\/\">placement test<\/a> to determine the appropriate level (if any). Placement tests exempt prerequisites, but do not waive units.\r\n<p>2. Students with prior knowledge of one language may not be able to fulfill the requirements of the minor in that language, depending on the placement outcome. Nonetheless, they may consider pursuing the minor in that language if feasible, or the minor in another language, or the Minor in Multilingual Communication.<\/p>\r\n3.

In order to take Level 1000 CLS language courses, students must not have prior knowledge of the language (written or oral). If they have prior knowledge, they may take a <a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cls\/placement-tests\/\">placement test<\/a>\u00a0to determine the appropriate level (if any). Placement tests exempt prerequisites, but do not waive units.\r\n<p>2. Students who are currently reading CLS courses are allowed to declare the minor. Those who have already declared the Minor in Language Studies may switch to the new minor or pursue both concurrently, subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/registrar\/academic-information-policies\/undergraduate-students\/special-programmes\/minor-programmes\">NUS double-counting policy<\/a>. Students studying both minors cannot use the same language as Language A. For example, if a student pursues the Minor in German Language Studies, they can only take German as Language B in the Minor in Multilingual Communication.<\/p>\r\n<p>3. Students may only be awarded one Minor in Multilingual Communication, even if they complete courses across more than two languages.<\/p>\r\n4. Up to 8 units from approved exchange courses that are <a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cls\/module-mapping\/\">mapped to CLS course equivalents<\/a> (same course codes) may be counted towards the minor.
