If you have no previous knowledge of Italian, you don't have to take the online Italian placement exam. To start your Italian studies at Northwestern, register for ITALIAN 101-1, offered in fall quarter.
If you already have some knowledge of Italian or if you believe your proficiency in Italian may satisfy the Weinberg foreign language requirement, you must take the online Italian placement exam before registering for courses in the fall.
The online placement exam should be taken over the summer. If you don't have access to the internet, you'll need to take the online placement exam on a computer in your student residence or in a computer lab as soon as you arrive on campus.
There are advantages to taking the online exam in the summer:
- You'll get your score in time to learn about the course in which you'll begin.
- You can take the exam when you feel ready.
- You can take the time you need to complete the exam.
- You can work in a quiet, relaxed testing environment.
By taking the online placement exam during the summer, you'll get your results before Wildcat Welcome. If you score high enough, you will be notified that an oral interview or a written composition will be required to validate your level of proficiency.
