Montclair State University - Foreign Language Placement Testing

YES! if...

you wish to continue in the same foreign language that you've already studied.
you have AP or CLEP credit in the language that you wish to continue studying.

NO! if...

you are beginning a language that you've never studied before.
you are a student in the Center for Adult Learning (CAL).
you are a transfer student transferring three or more semester hours of foreign language credit.
you are a non-native speaker of English who has taken the NYU 12 Point Test and has received 6 or more points.

If you fall into the "Yes" category, then you must take the Foreign Language Placement Test for the language you wish to study. You cannot "self-place" yourself. You must take the Foreign Language Placement Test before you enroll in any courses of a language which you have previously studied. In addition, you should take the Foreign Language Placement Test prior to your first registration at MSU.

The Foreign Language Placement Test must be completed prior to Summer Orientation and Registration for the Fall semester. Students accepted for the Spring semester should complete the test before registering for classes. If you are admitted after June 1, please contact us to arrange for Foreign Language Placement Testing.

If you fall in the "No" catergory, please click "Continue" and then select "Placement Test Not Needed" on the next screen.
