Placement Tests for Undergraduates—Spring 2010
American Sign Language / French, Spanish, Latin / Mathematics / Placement Test Scores
American Sign Language
All students who have had prior experience with American Sign Language in
high school or elsewhere, or who are deaf or hard of hearing and consider
themselves native signers, or who are transfer students, must have taken the
placement exam to enroll in SES 102 American Sign Language II through SES
306 American Sign Language VI. Students may make an appointment to take the
placement exam by calling the Professions in Deafness Program 336/256-1217.
The test takes approximately one hour to an hour and a half and is a
written and performance exam. A study guide and additional information is
provided on the Professions in Deafness Program Web site,
www.uncg.edu/ses/ses_deaf.
Foreign Language—French, Latin, or Spanish
Students planning to continue with French, Latin, or Spanish (courses begun in high school) must take the Language Placement Test before registering for these courses. Placement tests are only offered for these three languages; students should consult departments about placement in other languages.
If students have high school foreign language deficiency of one unit, they must take the Language Placement Test if they wish to continue their high school language. If they plan to begin a new foreign language or if they have a deficiency of two units, they do not take the placement test. These scores are binding unless placement change is initiated by the instructor. Foreign Language Placement Tests will be held as follows:
| French and Spanish |

334-5655, 2321 Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building

Mathematics Placement Test
There is no prerequisite for MAT 112, 115, and 150; hence, no student is required to take the Mathematics Placement Test. See http://www.uncg.edu/mat/undergraduate/mathplacetest.html.
Science or Business majors with very strong backgrounds in precalculus or calculus should consult (at least two months prior to the beginning of a semester via matplace@uncg.edu) with the Department of Mathematical Sciences in order to discuss the possibility of taking the Mathematics Placement Test.
Placement Test Scores
Scores will be available from the respective departments within 24 hours after the tests are taken. Students should pick up their scores before meeting with their advisors.
