Academics (SPA 212)
Students on the program take SPA 212, which fulfills the university language requirement.
A prerequisite of three semesters of Spanish or the equivalent (SPA 153 or 154) is required.
The Salamanca Program follows the Class Attendance policy listed in the WF Bulletin:
- Attendance is mandatory.
- Two sick days are permitted, no justification required (Tip: it would be wise to reserve these absences for illness).
- Each additional absence will lower the final course grade by 2/100 points.
- In case of hospitalization or a doctor’s bed rest orders for prolonged illness, send documentation to your semester RP, who will notify your professors.
If at some point you should have a complaint about a professor’s performance or grading, use the following procedure:
- As soon as possible and no later than fifteen days after the event, talk personally with or send a written message explaining the concern directly to the professor. Should you need assistance writing this message, your Resident Professor may be of help. (If your complaint regards the Resident Professor, move directly to step 2) The Resident Professor will not take a position or write a message for you, but s/he can help you find the vocabulary to communicate your complaint.
- If your complaint is not resolved, you may appeal to the Program Director for assistance. The Program Director will communicate with you and the professor, seek to understand your individual perspectives, reach a conclusion, and share it with you and the professor.
- If your complaint is still not resolved by these procedures, you should consult with the Office of Academic Advising for assistance.
- Finally, you may appeal to the Committee on Academic Affairs which will study the matter, solicit input from all parties, and reach a final decision concerning resolution.
Again, a complaint should be directed as soon as possible to the professor whose actions or inactions have given rise to the problem. In no case will a complaint be considered later than fifteen days after the event.”

Honor Code
The Wake Forest Undergraduate Honor Code prohibits “plagiarism, stealing, cheating, and deception.” In academic terms, this means turning in, as your own, wording, text, or ideas that are not your own.
To avoid plagiarizing, cite your sources when quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing works (print or online) by other authors. To avoid cheating and deception, do not use tutors, friends, collaborators, contractors, translators, grammar checks, or artificial intelligence generators for work that must be your own.
Any sign of plagiarism, stealing, cheating or deception will be regarded as a violation of the Honor Code and will be awarded a grade of 0 and submission to the Judicial Council.
