Advanced Standing Credit
in a Foreign Language by Placement Exam

    Students who want retroactive advanced standing credit in Spanish, French or German must plan to enroll in a language course at OSU in Stillwater and take the foreign language placement test by the last date on which the course may be added during the semester. 

    Students who want retroactive advanced standing in Latin, Greek, Japanese or Russian should see Joan Payne, Foreign Language Adviser (405-744-5658, 213 Life Sciences East) for testing procedures.

    Upon Completion of the foreign language placement test in the language, the test score will be used to determine the appropriate level of course work for enrollment at OSU in Stillwater.  The placement test results remain valid for two semesters (not including summer semester) following the test date.  The student must complete the placement course within that time, at OSU in Stillwater, in order to receive retroactive advanced standing credit. Placement test results need to be given to the student’s academic adviser.  The academic adviser will assist the student with enrollment in the placement course.

    The student must earn a grade of “A” or “B” in the placement course in order to earn any retroactive advanced standing credit. After all grades have been posted for the semester, the Foreign Language Adviser will verify the score and date of the placement exam and the grade earned in the placement course.  If placed in 2115 (Spanish) or 2112, 2113 (French or German) earning an “A” or “B,” the student will earn ten (10) hours of retroactive advanced standing credit (1115 and 1225).

    Once verified, the Advanced Standing Credit form will be completed by the Foreign Language Adviser and will be submitted to the Admissions Office for the appropriate credit to be posted to the student’s transcript.
