A foreign language placement exam may be required for students who plan to continue studying the same foreign language in college that they studied in high school.  These exams are used for placement. Students may earn credit or exempt courses depending on how they perform on the exams. Exams may only be attempted once. If those students do not exempt 1001 and 1002, they must be placed into 1110.

University Testing Services offers exams in Hebrew, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. For exams in other languages, please contact the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences for a list of individual departments to contact. A student cannot register for the foreign language that was used to satisfy the CPC requirement unless a test score is on file from either Departmental testing, the College Board SAT II or the College Board Advanced Placement Program.  You must be a UGA student to register for this exam.

Your advisor can help you determine the appropriate course to take if you wish to continue in the same language.
