For native/heritage speakers, placement will be determined by the Chinese area chair upon completion of the in-person exam. For all other students, there are two online parts to the exam within Canvas. Complete both and combine scores from the written and listening sections to determine placement.

Contact the WLL Advisor if you have questions about placement or enrollment.

There are two parts to the Italian placement exam:

1. The Canvas placement exam.
2. An oral interview.

Once you complete the Canvas section, please email Dr. Daniele Forlino, Italian Area Chair, to schedule the second part.

The Spanish Area requires that all students, including native, non-native, and heritage speakers of Spanish, as well as transfer students, take the placement test if they intend to take any Spanish courses at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø or pursue a major/minor in Spanish, since Spanish programs vary vastly from one academic institution to another. Taking a placement test will accurately determine your level and place you in a course that will best reflect your learning needs. Transfer students who do not intend to take Spanish at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø are not required to take the placement test in order to keep credit hours that will be transferred toward fulfilling the second language requirement.

*Categories such as native, non-native and heritage refer to the students’ linguistic proficiency level and are determined by the Spanish area. Students will need to request permission for enrollment on My. 91³Ô¹ÏÍø from the WLL Advisor.

Students who do not wish to abide by their placement exam results may petition the WLL chair for an exemption (granted only in rare cases), or enroll in a language in which they have not had instruction.

Contact the WLL Advisor if you have general questions about placement or enrollment.
