Students who plan to meet their foreign language requirement with the same foreign language taken in high
school must take a foreign language placement exam before taking any foreign language classes to determine
what course level to enroll in. See placement test information at placementtest.ucr.edu Students will not
receive credit for courses taken below their level of proficiency. A sufficiently high score on the placement exam
can fulfill the foreign language requirement.
