Foreign Language Placement

All students who have studied a foreign language in high school for three or more years who wish to continue in that same language are required to take the Foreign Language Achievement Test.

Students with fewer than 3 years of foreign language study in high school may take the test if they wish; otherwise, they must begin with the 101F course. Foreign Language courses below the 300 level are not open to native speakers.

Students are advised to contact the University Testing Center at (757) 683-3697 to schedule an appointment to take the test. Check the Testing Center Schedule for dates and times of testing.  There is a $20 fee (may be subject to change) for this test.
