Students must take a placement exam for most languages at U of M to determine which level they are best suited for. The student then chooses the section and must get permission from the instructor to take the course for high school credit only.
Students who have received AP or IB credit for Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese do NOT need to take the placement exam. Students who have a 4+ on the AP or IB test may request instructor permission to join the following courses:
Spanish 277, French 235, Italian - any course 235+, Portug - any course 287+
Please be advised that students can only take the placement test one time during their high school careers.
