Dear Butler First Years and Sophomores,

Need to take a language placement test before the start of the spring term?

Online language placement tests will be available from Monday, January 13 at 8am ET through Friday, January 17 at 5pm ET. (Make sure to start the exam well in advance. You must fully complete and submit your selected test(s) before 5pm EST on 1/17.) 

As a reminder: normally, students may take a language placement test (in any given language) only once per year or after a relevant educational experience (like study abroad).

Placement tests will be offered in the following languages at the following Canvas URLs. You must be logged in to Canvas.
