French Placement Information
If you'd like to be placed into Elementary II or Intermediate language classes without
the proper pre-requisites, you can do so by taking the placement exam at NWACC's Testing Center located on the third floor of the Becky
Paneitz Student Center. International language faculty will then evaluate the exam
and advise you on where you place in the program. The exam is free and takes approximately
thirty minutes.
