What if I feel as though my placement score does not reflect my level?

• Please attend the course level for a few days. At the beginning of the semester, instructors will conduct a diagnostic test to ascertain the level of his/her students.

• College students: You may take a course one level higher from your placement score without seeing an advisor or coordinator for approval. You may not, however, move higher than the 140/145-level in any language.

• Wharton, Nursing, Engineering, and LPS students who are interested in moving up one level from their online placement score, must receive permission from the Spanish course coordinator and take the course for a letter grade. (For example, if you are placed into Spanish 130, but are considering Spanish 140, please speak with the Spanish 140 coordinator.)

Normally students are not given permission to take a course below the level indicated by their placement score. If you feel you have special circumstances, consult the specific course coordinator.
