Placement Exam and Instructions
French Placement Instructions
Please read carefully before taking the placement test:
- All students must take the French placement exam, note your score, and fill in the questionnaire, even if you have never before studied French.
*Placement test results are good only for the semester in which you take them.
1. Your placement test results will be transferred to ISIS, giving you permission to register. This process may take as little as one hour or until the end of the next business day. You may see when your test results have been transferred by:
- logging into ISIS,
- choosing ISIS for Students, and
- selecting Approvals, Holds, and Registration Access Time.
On that display you will see the French course/courses for which you may register.
2. Please register for an approved French course before registration ends.
3. Please register for one course only:
- French 201 and French 203 require a conversation lab, so you must also register for one of the 201 or 203 lab sections;
- If you are placed in 215 or higher, there is no conversation lab. All four culture and literature courses (215, 219, 225, and 230) are on the same level. You may register for the course of your choice.
