PLACEMENT TESTING IS FOR STUDENTS WISHING TO ENROLL IN THE NEXT-LEVEL LANGUAGE COURSE IN THE SEQUENCE

A placement test assures that students continue their language-learning journey at the appropriate level. Students may receive credit for previous courses by enrolling in the course they place into and remaining enrolled past Census Date. Through this test, students can receive credits for up to four lower-level courses depending on their score.

Spanish Heritage Lower-Level Courses

We offer courses specifically designed for Spanish heritage learners. Instead of enrolling in SPAN 1441, which is designed for students with little knowledge of Spanish, students who have learned Spanish in their household, family, or community (primarily outside of the classroom) should complete the free Spanish Heritage Language Program Placement Survey. Students may receive credit for previous courses by enrolling in the course they place into and remaining enrolled past Census Date. Through this test, students can receive credits for up to two lower-level courses depending on their score.

CREDIT-BY-EXAM TESTING IS FOR STUDENTS WISHING TO RECEIVE LANGUAGE CREDITS ON THEIR TRANSCRIPT ONLY WITHOUT HAVING TO ENROLL IN THE NEXT-LEVEL COURES IN THE SEQUENCE

To test out of language courses to receive credits without having to enroll in the next-level course, students can take the Avant STAMP test. Through this test, students can receive credits for up to four lower-level courses depending on their score.

If students have a Global Seal of Biliteracy obtained within the last year, they can use it to test out of lower-level courses.
