Where can I take the Language Placement Exam?

• The Languages and Culture Studies Department is responsible for administering and managing the online language placement exam.  More information, including exam dates, is available here.

• Facebook Groups for Elementary Language Courses:  Facebook groups for elementary language study are available for students in the UNC Charlotte Facebook network. The groups are intended for use by students as a way to share information about their language study, locate study groups, and ask and answer questions about language courses from fellow students. The group is meant to provide an additional means of academic support and to promote community among students in the multiple sections of elementary language courses.  Ask at the LRC Reception Desk if you have any questions.
