Foreign Language Placement

If you are thinking about taking a foreign language at RIT, but you previously took one in another school (high school, university, etc.), you must take a placement test BEFORE YOU PRE-REGISTER. For those students that are interested in declaring a concentration or a minor in a foreign language, being placed beyond the level of Beginning I foreign language will help you obtain the exemption of the prerequisite. 

Currently, placement tests are scheduled for pre-registration. Please contact the following professors immediately: 

Arabic, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish: Prof. Diane Forbes - djfgsl@rit.edu

 
Chinese, Japanese, and American Sign Language: Prof. Hiroko Yamashita -hxygsl@rit.edu

 
French: Prof. Philippe Chavasse - pxcgsl@rit.edu

 
German: Prof. Wilma Wierenga - wvwgsl@rit.edu

 
Italian: Prof. Elisabetta D'Amanda - da5@netacc.net
