Students: Looking for information on placement testing and credit for proficiency?
- Native/heritage speakers (students who speak Spanish, French, or German at home) or students who have advanced knowledge via extended study have the opportunity to earn IUP credits for advanced and/or native speaker knowledge in French, German, and Spanish.
- If you studied Spanish in high school and did not take a placement test at Orientation, or are a native or heritage speaker of Spanish, please contact Christina Huhn at huhn@iup.edu to request a placement test. Please note: Placement tests are to determine where to begin your study and cannot be used to test out of the course sequence once you have taken IUP foreign language courses or transferred foreign language credit from another university.
- If you are a transfer student or have other special circumstances, please contact the placement coordinator for your language to discuss your situation:
- French: Jean-Louis Dassieri (dassier@iup.edu) or Charles McCreary (chasmc@iup.edu)
- German: Heide Witthöft (heide@iup.edu)
- Chinese: Laurel Liu (sliu@iup.edu)
