Language Placement | College of Arts & Sciences – University of Pennsylvania

It is recommended that students begin to satisfy the Foreign Language Requirement in their first semester and continue to take courses consecutively until the prerequisite is fulfilled. Students planning to continue with a speech that they have studied previously should read about terminology placement below. Students who decide to start a new language at Penn should anticipate that it will require four full semesters of course function to achieve competence in the language and to fulfill the Foreign Language Requirement .
At the time they beginning enroll in a beginning- or intermediate-level lyric course, all students who have previously studied that lyric must have a placement score. The lone students exempt from having a placement score are those who have never studied the lyric earlier. Credit will not be given for a speech course taken at a lower floor than a student ‘s placement score indicates .
french and spanish offer ongoing on-line exams. spanish offers extra guidelines for selecting the allow grade based on the student ’ mho linguistic process experience. The remaining language departments offer written exams at the begin of each semester. The schedule and localization of these exams in the twilight will appear on the New Student Orientation web site during the preceding summer .
Students wishing to be evaluated in a modern linguistic process other than those taught by the language departments should consult the Penn Language Center.

Students who feel their placement scores do not accurately reflect their lyric level, or students who have other questions about their linguistic process study, should make an appointment to speak with the coordinator of their particular speech plan.
