PLACEMENT EXAM 2020 (FRENCH and SPANISH)
The next WLC online Placement Exam for French and Spanish will be determined at a later time. Please check this website periodically for future dates.
This exam must be taken by any student wishing to enroll for the first time at Cal Poly in a Spanish or French course (except true beginners, who must enroll in 101) AND who do not have any previous Cal Poly coursework or transfer/AP credit for that language on their Poly Profile.
Please note:
- Have your EMPL ID# ready (you can access this in your Cal Poly Portal).
- You can contact the proctor (Dr. Silvia Marijuan) and provide your Cal Poly email address ahead of time, but this is not necessary.
- You will enter the "waiting room" in Zoom, so please allow for about 5 minutes for the proctor to check you in.
- The fee for the online placement exam is $10.00 payable online at the time of the exam by credit/debit card (not your Campus Express account).
- You CANNOT repeat the placement exam after having taken it until the next quarter.
No need to make a reservation. The cost is $10 payable with a credit card.
