Registration for University of Arizona Students
Enrolling in CLP classes for University Credit through UAccess
Courses are listed under CRL in UAccess, with the course number indicating the level (101, 201, etc.) and the section number indicating the language (see below for our list of section numbers). For example, the section number for Hindi is 321, so 1st semester Hindi is CRL 101-321, and 3rd semester Hindi is CRL 201-321.
To enroll in this language for UA university credit, if you are a beginner, you will sign up for CRL 101 under the correct language course section number (see below) in UAccess. If you have studied the language some or spoken it some at home, you should reach out to the tutor of your language or Program Coordinator to schedule a free informal placement assessment. This will help you sign up for the correct course level. More assessment details.
If you do not see a level that you need offered in a current language, reach out to critlang@arizona.edu. If you are interested in studying a language not currently listed at all, you should complete the Language Request form.
We are able to offer flexible schedules with 4 - 10 students per section and offer 4 credit hours (elementary and intermediate levels). If you register for a course with fewer than three other students, recruit your friends into the class to ensure that it runs.
Number of hours per course/credit
Most CRL credit courses are for four credits. This translates to 30 hours of instruction and 120 hours of homework for these credits. During a 15-week semester, this would be two hours of instruction and 8 hours of homework per week. For a shorter term (for example a 7.5 week intensive summer term), four credits translates to 4.5 hours weekly teaching and 16 hours of homework. If a class has only one student enrolled, instructional time is divided in half.
Schedules
Please note that all our class times are listed as TBA (or "to be announced"). CLP classes are scheduled by the Critical Languages Program to accommodate registered students' schedules. TBA means the final schedule time is being made. Schedules will be available 1 - 2 weeks before class and posted in D2L. If you are registering less than a week before the semester starts, reach out to the tutor to make sure that time works for you. All scheduled tutorial/class times are final after the first week. Attendance in credit tutorial classes is mandatory.
UA Language Requirement
CLP courses count towards the UA undergraduate language requirement.
What if I am not a University of Arizona Student?
We are happy to include non-UA students in our courses. There are two kinds of courses: non-credit and credit. Often if a class is smaller, we will combine.
Non-Credit Students
Non-credit courses are open to all adults in the world, and we offer some limited youth opportunities. Non-credit courses or individualized tutoring are great ways to improve your language skills.
University (but not UA) Students
If you are not a University of Arizona student and would like to register for one of our credit courses and receive UA university credit, you can apply to the UA as a non-degree student. First confirm with us at critlang@arizona.edu that the course will be offered the term you want it. Then, you should register as a non-degree student.
Then reach back out to us and we will help you get registered for your course.
