All students are required to complete a foreign language placement exam before enrolling in any language course. Faculty members monitor their class lists to ensure that students have taken the exam and are enrolled in the appropriate level.

French and Spanish Placement Exams
The French and Spanish exams may be taken online from a home computer. Students will receive their score and placement level immediately following the exam.
