German Placement Exam

 

The online German proficiency test for incoming students (first year and transfer) will be open from June 10th until August 25th, 2024.
You are encouraged to take the exam by July 15, which will help you and your advisor plan your fall semester courses prior to registration.

The test takes up to 100 minutes, so please plan accordingly.
