European Languages Departmental Exams

Correspondence examinations are available for other languages and American Sign Language.

Special Requirements and Policies

Departmental examinations in modern languages begin with the first course in the respective sequence, and credit may be earned for as many as four semesters of course work in each language. Departmental exams may require demonstration of oral and written competence in basic vocabulary and structure. Listening and/or reading comprehension also will be tested.

Required Foreign Language Placement Testing

Students who intend to enroll for the first time in a college foreign language course; who have previous knowledge of the language, however acquired; and who have no college credit in the language MUST take a placement test to determine the appropriate course for their level of ability. The foreign language placement test also serves as a basis for credit by examination. This test will be administered on the first day of the new student conference along with credit by examination tests. The test will also be offered at various times during the fall and spring semesters.

Students who take the Advanced Placement (AP) test, the College Board Achievement test, the International Baccalaureate test (B) or the SAT II Subject Test in their foreign language of choice do not have to take the required foreign language placement tests. In this case the AP, Achievement, IB or SAT II Subject test results may be used for placement.
