FOREIGN LANGUAGE TESTING
Who needs to take it?
Students who are interested in taking Spanish or French or German AND have studied/or are proficient in Spanish, French or German. At this time, Japanese courses do not require a placement test.
When should I take the test?
Sometime before you sign up for your first language class at SOU.
Can I buy back credit for language courses below my placement?
If you earn a B or better in the course you placed into, you can apply to buy credit ($100 per course) from the language department within one term of finishing the language course. For example, if you place into and pass Spanish 202 with a B or better and go to the language department within a term, you can pay to have Spanish 101, 102, 103, 201 transcripted for a total of $400 for 16 credits.
When and where is testing offered?
