The university administration confirmed today that American Sign Language will now fulfill the foreign language requirement. We are currently finalizing the implementation timeline with the department heads to ensure these courses are available by the next registration cycle.

I am currently finalizing the formal proposal to present to the university administration. This documentation outlines how other peer institutions have successfully integrated American Sign Language into their existing academic structures. I expect to secure a meeting with the department chair by the end of the month.

my daughter uses asl and it is really frustrating that odu wont count it. she worked so hard to learn it and it should count for her degree.
why isnt this already a thing?? its a real language with a real culture. get it together odu.
ASL IS A REAL LANGUAGE. PERIOD.
i really wanted to take sign language but couldnt afford to add extra classes on top of the required ones so i just ended up having to take french instead.
i actually took asl courses and my advisor told me i had to take something else for the credit. makes no sense at all.
Yes please !!!

I work with the hearing impaired and don't fully understand, I have to write down some of the things I need to say. They are teaching me, and its very interested and now its part of what I want to do after I graduate from ODU. I was told in 2017 that I could sub ASL instead of Spanish and transfer it in, and now that I have saved up my money to pay they all seem to have forgotten that they told me that.
