Language Testing at the University of Florida |
Placement in Spanish, French, German, and Latin for students who have studied the languages before is via the SAT II test. A score from an earlier administration may be used or the student may take a special version valid only for placement here at UF. Details and upcoming dates are at Placement Testing. The tests are usually administered during registration and drop-add periods. Placement or satisfaction of the college foreign language requirements for other languages, or for native speakers, is usually done on a personal basis, by interview. The student should contact the language department to find out who is the appropriate contact for the language in question; if the language is not listed below, contact Academic Advising.
