Admission to language courses does not constitute admission to any other unit of Rice University. Students do not receive academic credit for these courses, but will receive 2.4 Continuing Education Units for satisfactory completion of each eight-week course or two-week intensive course. Persons applying for these courses must have graduated from a secondary school.
