Montclair State University - Foreign Language Placement Testing

YES! if...

you wish to continue in a foreign language with which you have some experience (even if you have already filled the language requirement with another language).
you have AP or CLEP credit in the language that you wish to continue studying.

NO! if...

you are beginning a new language with which you have no experience.
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.

Free Elective Policy for World Languages Students who wish to take the language courses listed below as free electives must follow the placement policies stipulated under the Undergraduate and Graduate Degree Requirements (see online catalog links to World Languages and Cultures Requirement and to Language Placement Testing) and must meet the eligibility requirements indicated in the course descriptions. Students who have personal or academic experience with any of these languages must take the placement exam (flp.montclair.edu). Students may not take these language courses out of sequence, nor may they take more than one of them in the same language simultaneously.
