Note these are for the placement exam students take on-line. It is just a placement exam that informs them what level they are eligible to enroll in. This does not give them proficiency.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Placement and proficiency are two different things. Students take a placement test to know what the next course in their language sequence is. If they want to satisfy the requirement they must take a proficiency exam (or the CLEP if it is offered in their particular language). The biggest reason there is a placement test and a proficiency test is that students take the placement test on their own, which is not proctored. The proficiency exam is given on campus and is proctored, which is why that can be used to satisfy the requirement.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Advisors can access placement and proficiency levels on UAccess Student Center.
