Taking the Spanish Placement Assessment

STEP 1: Prior to taking the Spanish placement assessment, all students must enroll in the Canvas Placement Module

STEP 2: After enrolling in the Canvas Placement Module, take the online Spanish placement assessment. You will need to provide your name, student ID, and email address. Please enter this information carefully. If you need to log back into the test, this information will be required and must be entered exactly as it was entered the first time.

Who needs to take the assessment?

All students looking to enroll in Spanish courses, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience, must take the placement assessment, even to enroll in SPAN 1.
