Language Placement Process
This process is intended for students who want/need to take a language course at ҵ. All students must complete the Language Placement Process prior to taking their first language course at ҵ. This process will identify the course(s) for you to take as your first course here at ҵ. NOTE: A PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATION IS A PREREQUISITE FOR ALL ҵ LANGUAGE COURSES. You will not be able to enroll in your first ҵ course in a specific language without having completed the Language Placement Process. Once you have taken a language course at ҵ, that course will serve as your prerequisite for further language courses. There is no pass or fail to this test, and your results will NOT satisfy the ҵ Core Language requirement.

The Proficiency Exam is intended for students who have considerable experience with a language other than English and who would like to demonstrate that proficiency as a means to satisfy the University Core Second Language Requirement. “Considerable experience” means having completed 3 or more years of studies in the language in high school or being a native or near native speaker. Students who wish to take language courses at ҵ would NOT take a proficiency exam. The Proficiency Exam is offered on a limited basis in fall, winter and spring quarters. Registration for a Proficiency Exam opens up prior to each exam period.
Registration for Proficiency testing begins the first day of each quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring).
