Placement Tests

Spanish

To assess which level of Spanish might be most appropriate for you, there is an on-line placement exam through ALTEC.

Even though this exam is not an exemption exam, it is a useful tool to determine your proficiency in Spanish.

Please note that after taking the test you must enroll in the level indicated. Simply taking the placement exam does not automatically enroll you in a course, nor does it grant credits for courses out of which you might place.

Please email the Spanish & Portuguese Department to be enrolled in a level for which you have not completed the prerequisites and notify us to check your exam score; upon doing so we can enroll you in your preferred section.

Portuguese

To assess which level of Portuguese might be most appropriate for you, you can schedule to take a placement exam with professors Tania Martuscelli or Marcelo Schincariol.

Even though this exam is not an exemption exam, it is a useful tool to determine your proficiency in Portuguese.

Please note that after taking the test you must enroll in the level indicated. Simply taking the placement exam does not automatically enroll you in a course, nor does it grant credits for courses out of which you might place.
