Placement Test


Students wishing to take the Foreign Language Placement Test in French, German or Spanish should go to the following URL and log on according to the listed instructions.

THE PLACEMENT TEST IS TAKEN FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF INDICATING THE LEVEL AT WHICH A STUDENT SHOULD BEGIN HIS OR HER STUDY OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE. Students do not receive university credit for any language course they place out of on the placement test. Credit may be obtained by taking the CLEP or Credit by Exam tests for a course BEFORE enrolling in a higher level course. Minors and majors in a language must still complete the number of courses required by the department.
