What is the purpose of the placement exam? |
| The purpose of the placement exam is to determine at what level you should begin your language studies at Valparaiso University. The exam will place you into a specific VU course. You must complete and pass this course in order to receive credit toward a language major or minor or toward a General Education language requirement. |
|
Can I use outside assistance when taking the exam? |
| The use of outside assistance of any kind is prohibited when taking the placement exam. This includes assistance obtained through electronic or other means such as websites, dictionaries, textbooks, other individuals, etc. It would be to your disadvantage to use outside assistance since doing so might place you into a higher course for which you would not be properly prepared. Moreover, using outside assistance would also be a violation of the Valparaiso University Honor Code: "I have neither given or received nor have I tolerated others' use of unauthorized aid." |
