Transfer Students

Do you wish to continue study of a language you have received transfer credit for? You do not need to take this exam. But if you wish to resume study of French‚ Spanish‚ Italian, Chinese, or Russian and you studied that language for at least two full years in high school, then you need to take the placement test. Please follow the instructions as outlined below for freshmen.

New Freshmen

This test should be taken by students who have indicated on their Course Selection Questionnaire that they wish to take French‚ Spanish, Russian, Chinese or Italian and that they have completed at least two years of study in that language. (This test is not necessary if you want to study a language you have never studied previously!) The results of the test, a 15-20 minute multiple choice survey of your knowledge of the language, will help to ensure that the level of your course placement most closely matches your ability in the language.
