Placement Exams
The Department of Foreign Languages currently offers language courses
in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese,
Latin, Russian and Spanish. Degree programs are available for the
underlined languages as well as in Romance Languages and Classical
Studies.
First- and second-year level placement:
- First semester (113): Up to one year of the foreign language
at the high school level;
- Second semester (114): Up to two years of the language at the
high school level;
- Third semester (213): More than two years of the foreign language
at the high school level;
- Fourth semester (214): More than three years of the language
at the high school level.
These are approximate guidelines only, as the quality and type of
previous exposure to the language can vary greatly. Students with
previous exposure to a foreign language who wish to study at UNLV
are strongly urged to take a free written placement exam offered
by the Department in FDH 508 (M-F 8:00-3:00 p.m.)
If students remain in a class for which, in the opinion of the course
instructor, they are too advanced, they will be subject to administrative
drop.
After initial placement, language courses 113, 114, 213, 214, 226
and 227 must be taken in sequential order. Students may not enroll
concurrently in any of these courses in the same language.
Native or fluent speakers of a language other than English may not
enroll in lower-division classes in this language. These students
are encouraged to consult with the department chair for special advising
on remedial study or advanced work.
Students or advisors who have questions about placement should contact
the Department of Foreign Languages, 702-895-3431.
