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 the fall pre- registration. Please contact the following professors immediately:
