Placement Recommendations
Level Equivalencies: Student has studied same world language for:
- 1
year FL 1101 or FL 1102, depending on high school grades (see below)
and experience. If in doubt, see instructor.
- 2
years FL 1102 or FL2101, depending on high school grades and experience. Contact the instructor for placement test/recommendation.
- 3
years FL 1102 or FL 2101. To decide, take the 30-minute placement test,
see instructor, or go to web site.
- 4 years FL 2101, FL 2102, or FL 1102 (see below).
Grade: If student earned a C or below in most recent course, place one level below recommended course.
Switching Languages: Universities with a world language requirement usually require two college years (four semesters) of the same language. Students are strongly encouraged to continue with the language they have previously studied.
Placing Yourself At Too Low A Level:
- It’s
expensive! The student invests time and tuition which could be spent
learning the skills needed to pass the two years exit/graduation test,
or to place into a higher level course at the transfer school.
- Be careful! Experience shows that students who self-place at too low a level tend not to study in the beginning of the course, and thus get so far behind that they cannot catch up.
Contact Instructor:
Feel free to talk to an instructor who will ask: where you studied; how many years and at what level; your goal in studying world language; and level-appropriate questions in the language.
For a placement test in a world language, see a world language instructor.
Ask for permission to sit in on any class for a day or two.
Get the syllabus, then go to the text website or instructor website and see what the class covers. Do you know this material?
