Not really.
If a "D" or "F" were received in less advanced work, then the "D" or "F" may be cleared by completing more advanced work with a grade of "C-" or higher.
Examples:
1. A student taking two years of the same language
with grades DD and CC meets the
requirement because the CC in the more
advanced course validates the DD in the first
level course.
2. Two years of the same language with grades
DD and DC meets the requirement because
the Ds are validated by the grade in the most
advanced class."
