Language Placement Tests

Hola, Bonjour, Salve, Guten Tag!

Congratulations on having been accepted for admission at R-MC. We are looking forward to your arrival at the College and want to let you know how you can help us determine your appropriate placement in language courses.

IF YOU HAVE STUDIED A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU NEED TO TAKE A PLACEMENT TEST IN THAT LANGUAGE.

Please take the exam seriously and do the best work that you can do so that we can accurately assess your level. It is in your own best interest to be placed in the most appropriate language course for you.

• Even if you are considering studying a different language at R-MC, take the placement test in the language that you studied in high school.

• If you took more than one language in High School, you may take more than one placement exam.

• Do NOT take a placement test in any language you have NOT studied.

• If you have studied ANCIENT GREEK, JAPANESE or CHINESE you will take your placement exam when you arrive on campus. If you have questions, the contact person for Latin and Ancient Greek is Professor Greg Daugherty (gdaugher@rmc.edu) and for Asian Languages, Professor Thomas Porter (tporter@rmc.edu).

• If you have studied SPANISH or FRENCH, you will take a two-part placement exam, and you must complete both parts.

• If you have studied GERMAN you will take an online placement exam. The contact person in German is Professor Mine Eren (meren@rmc.edu).

• If you have studied LATIN you will take an online placement exam.  If you have questions, the contact person for LATIN is Professor Greg Daugherty (gdaugher@rmc.edu).
