Complete the Spanish, French, German, or Italian Language Placement Exam online before Summer Orientation. Select the “Courses” tab on Canvas, click “All Courses,” and select “Language Placement Exams.” Other languages can be discussed during Summer Orientation, where you will also take math and writing placement exams.
