Proctored language assessments in five languages for students who missed the October 1 deadline of their first year at Elon will be offered as per the schedule below.
Students – Did you fail to take a language assessment by Oct. 1 of your first year at Elon? Or have you been told that you need to re-take the assessment due to a technical glitch? You MUST have on record a placement score for the language(s) that you studied in high school (or previously) in order to be admitted into any language class, even the beginning level of a different language.
The exam will be proctored by a faculty member who will also provide advice, guidance and permission-to-enroll forms for winter term and spring semester language courses based on your score.
You must sign up for an appointment at the following link. If you just show up, we cannot guarantee you a spot. Sign up at least 24 hours before the testing time at https://www.elon.edu/eventsmgmt/events/eventtype.aspx?id=58
The testing times for French, German, Italian, Latin and Spanish are listed below. Please come to Carlton 221 a few minutes before your scheduled testing time.
Sunday, Oct. 30 – 2 to 4 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 9 – 2 to 4 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 13 – 2 to 4 p.m.
On Sundays, please use the fountain entrance for entering Carlton. If the door is locked, use your Phoenix Card.
REQUIREMENTS AND NOTES: You must have your Phoenix card with you. Allow approximately 30-45 minutes to complete preliminary paperwork and to take the exam.
After Oct. 1, the exam is for placement purposes only. You will not be able to place out of the requirement through your score because of the university policy that limits that option to students who meet the Oct. 1 deadline.
If you have any questions, send an email to languages@elon.edu and use “placement test – post Oct. 1” in the subject line.
