If you took German in high school or have otherwise acquired a proficiency in the language, you may take a placement test to determine the appropriate course to enroll in. After successfully completing that course, you will receive credit for all lower-numbered courses — meaning that you might earn three to twelve extra course hours. The placement test is computerized and can be taken on a walk-in basis until the end of the registration/drop-add period. No grade is assigned for credit earned through advanced placement.
