Placement in Foreign Languages
Students who want to take French, German or Spanish should take the foreign language placement exam before registering for a foreign language course.  The foreign language proficiency exam is both a placement and an exemption exam. It verifies your proficiency in both listening and reading skills and places you in the appropriate course in a college foreign language sequence in the first or second semester of first-year language or beyond. Many students who have had three or four years of high school instruction are proficient enough to have met the UMM language requirement with no further study.

Taking a Foreign Language placement exam
Foreign language exams in French, German and Spanish are offered at New Student Registrations, during Orientation, or by appointment through the Testing Center.  If you would like to schedule one of these exams, please call 320-589-6060

Students who wish to take placement exams in other languages may contact the UMM Scholastic Committee, 204 Behmler Hall.
