2022-3 Request for a Proficiency Evaluation

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Students who are native speakers of, or have substantial knowledge of, a language other than English may meet the requirement by demonstrating appropriate proficiency, as determined by the College, in all skills relevant to the comprehension and production of that particular language. Except in the special cases, (e.g., American Sign Language) proficiency testing includes reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Once you complete this form, a language advisor will review the information provided. They will determine whether:

· you can be considered proficient based solely on your background

· you are eligible to be referred for proficiency testing

· you should be referred to an appropriate language course to fulfill the requirement

The College of Arts & Sciences partners with Language Testing International (LTI) for proficiency testing. If you are deemed eligible for proficiency testing, you will be referred to a test through LTI by one of our language advisors. They will provide you with more information about how and when you can arrange for a test. Please note that proficiency testing through LTI ranges in cost from $105 – 165, which includes a remote proctoring fee.
