Language Placement
Students are required to complete one semester of college language beyond the level of the two-year entrance requirement to the college. Alternatively, having met the entrance requirement in one language, they may take one semester of college-level study in another language. A course in any modern spoken language (e.g. Spanish, French, or German) or ancient language (e.g. Greek or Hebrew) is accepted as fulfilling this requirement.
Students are exempt from this requirement if they pass an examination demonstrating the equivalent of three semesters of college language study during a Perspective or Summer Orientation session or present evidence of a primary language other than English to the Student Records Office. The placement test determines the level of the language course in which they may enroll. Students have met this requirement if they have scored a 4 or 5 on a foreign language AP exam.
