Latin Placement Test
The Latin Placement Test is required for EVERY student who has taken Latin at the high school level within the last three years and wants to continue studying it at UNCG. It is given during pre-registration and at the beginning of each semester. If it has been more than three years since you took Latin, you may still take the placement test and place above the 101 level.
Remember: It is in your interest to place at the highest level possible. The College graduation requirement requires you to pass the 204 level of a foreign language. If you are able to start at the 203 level, you can finish this requirement in 2 semesters.
Tests
were given to entering students at SOAR sessions. If you did not take
a test, please contact
