2. Once your pre-approval is given for credit transfer you need to register for the Spanish Program of your choice through Spanish Abroad. Be sure that the Spanish course that you are registering for will allow you to have enough weeks to meet the requirements in order to gain the number of units for the Spanish course.
3.. You will then be sent the Registration form for credit. You will need to fill this out and send it back to Brookhaven. At the same time you will also need to send the payment for the units. You can pay by personal check or by credit card. This will enroll you in the specific courses you desire.
4. Attend and complete the Spanish immersion program at the Spanish School of your choice. You must be in class for the minimum number of weeks required for the credit you are trying to receive. You must satisfactorily complete all class work and homework, and you must pass all tests. You will also need to complete a one page paper in Spanish for each course you are trying to receive academic Spanish credit. This will be due on your last day of Spanish classes.
