Testing for languages.
FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, OR SPANISH: If you plan to continue studying one of these languages but were unable to take the language placement exam over the summer, you may take it now.
If you placed out of the language requirement via the online placement exam for French, German, Italian, or Spanish and do not plan to continue studying that language, you must re-take the placement exam to confirm the placement. Unless you also have a score of 4 or 5 on the AP language exam or the minimum SAT II score (French: 640; German: 630; Italian: 630; Spanish: 630), then you do not need to retake.
CHINESE: If you are studying Chinese and placed into CHIN 211, you may need to take a Writing Exam. Please consult the chart on this page to determine if you need to take this follow up exam: https://www.dickinson.edu/info/20313/orientation/1706/placement_information
ANCIENT GREEK, ARABIC, JAPANESE, LATIN, or RUSSIAN: If you plan to continue studying one of these languages, you have the opportunity to meet with a faculty member to adjust your placement.
MODERN HEBREW: If you plan to study Modern Hebrew and are registered for a course for Fall 2022, you must meet with a faculty member to confirm your placement.
