Language Placement
Fall 2008 Fall 2008 makeup dates
If you have any prior knowledge of an Asian language that you wish to study at UNC, you must take the placement test for that language. (This includes transfer students, who must take the placement test before continuing in the language, regardless of what transfer credit they have been awarded.) If you don't intend to take more courses in a language, but are seeking to use your prior knowledge of it to satisfy the foreign language requirement, you also must take the placement test.
Native speakers: If you are from a country where the language is spoken, and have had any of your formal education in that language, before seeking to take a placement test you should contact Dr. Fred Clark.
Fall placement: The following placement tests will be given on Monday, August 18, 2008 (the day before classes start for fall semester). You must register in advance for these tests; to do so, please contact Lori Harris, including your PID and which test you want to sign up for.
The Arabic placement test will be given from 3:15-5:15 in Hanes Art 215.
The Chinese placement test will be given from 9:30-11:00 in New West 219.

The Korean placement test will be given from 10:00-12:00 in Hanes Art 215. There are two different levels of the Korean test. If you have registered for KOR 101, please come to the 10:00 test. If you have registered for a higher level of Korean, or if you are taking the placement test in order to satisfy the language requirement, please come to the 11:00 test.
For placement in Persian, please contact Ms. Zari Kamarei .
