Placement

Students will be placed in foreign language courses according to the following criteria:

Students with one to two years of high school foreign language enroll in a Foundations I course.
Students with two to three years of high school foreign language enroll in a Foundations II course.
Students with three to four years of high school foreign language enroll in a 200-level course.
Students with five or more years of high school foreign language, life experience, or study abroad enroll in a 300-level course.

Students who received an A or B in high school courses or who have equivalent proficiency can be placed at the higher level. Proficiency levels are designated according to the Association of College Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines. These guidelines can be found in the ACTFL web page under Proficiency Testing (click on Testing for Proficiency). A score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement language exam earns three credits.

Please consult with an advisor at the Advisement Center or the foreign language faculty if you have any questions.
