Spanish Placement
A Spanish placement exam is available for students who have taken Spanish in high school, have been exposed to Spanish as a second language, or have lived in a Spanish speaking country for an extended period of time. Students will be placed into the appropriate Spanish course after the exam has been evaluated. Students who then complete the course with a C or above will receive from 3 to 12 credits of retroactive credit depending upon the course they completed.
Students can take the Spanish Placement Exam at any time. To enroll in the exam, please contact Lisa Konkel by calling 608-796-3467 or emailing lmkonkel@viterbo.edu.
