Testout Information

Do you have previous high school experience in a language we offer?
If so, be sure to take the World Language Placement Test in Spanish, German, French Chinese or Japanese.  You could receive up to 14 FREE credits!

How?

  • Take the language placement test in Spanish, German, French Chinese or Japanese
  • Enroll in the class you place into and pass the class with a grade of B- or better
  • Once you've passed the class you placed into with a B- or better, you will receive credit and grade for ALL of the courses below the one you tested into!

Example: If you were to test into Spanish 301, take Span 301, and receive a grade of B- or better, you would receive (with the grade of A) credit for:

  • SPAN 101   4 credits  
  • SPAN 102   4 credits  
  • SPAN 201   3 credits  
  • SPAN 202   3 credits


Why should you test out?

  • It Is a HUGE boost to your GPA right at the start of your academic career.
  • You receive up to 14 "free" credits, moving you further up in the registration queue and giving you a boost in credits toward graduation.
  • By testing out of Spanish, German, French, Chinese or Japanese 101, you will be fulfilling the General Education Communication-Speaking and Listening requirement.
  • Testing into a language makes it extremely easy to major or minor in that language. If you test into 301, for example, you are already halfway done with a minor!
