German
Placement into the German courses is based on the student's score on the German Placement Exam. Cutoff scores and placement recommendations are derived in collaboration with the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and are reviewed annually. The policies below apply to all students entering the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Summer 2015, Fall 2015, or Spring 2016.
The online German Placement Exam does not award proficiency credit. Only students who do well on the placement test may attempt the proficiency exam. Click here to learn more about the paper-and-pencil German Proficiency Exam.
