Credit by examination
In some cases, students may receive credit for language courses taken in high school, or may "place out" of a course by showing a certain level of proficiency. Some languages have standardized tests available; some require a department-administered exam (DAE). Further details are determined by the language you are studying and the level of proficiency you have attained.
To find out more about this process:
- Contact your academic advisor to discuss your language requirements
- Contact the Student Development Specialist at the Department of Instructional Assessment and Evaluation (IAE) (formerly the Measurement and Evaluation Center) to determine if a test is available.
- An upper-level course may require a department-administered exam – the IAE will tell you which forms are required and can help you make special arrangements with the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies.
