After the Placement Test
Students who have taken the test will be informed (by their preferred method--email, phone, etc.) 10-14 business days after the completion of the test.
Students who test into 102 or higher will receive EM Credit for the courses below the placement. For example, if you test into level 3 you will have earned a total of 10 credit hours for levels 1 and 2 (5 credit hours a piece) and can begin taking the class in level 3.
The EM Credit that is awarded stays on the student's record, but the student does not have to take the next level immediately the following quarter. Due to the length of time between the test and taking the class, some students may loose or feel that they have lost proficiency of the language. If the student (or teacher) feels it would be in the best interest of the student to take a class lower in level (than what was tested into), the student can audit the lower level class.
If you are not happy with the results of the placement test, you cannot re-take the test. In accordance with University policy, NO Credit by Examination test can be taken more than once. Although the testing/evaluation procedures instituted at Ohio State have, in general, proven to be reliable, occasionally students may be placed in a course that they find too easy. In such cases, students are asked to contact Ms. Tia Jones. Ms. Jones will conduct a review of the test to determine if the placement was appropriate. She will then discuss the outcome of the test and the review with the student. If this is still not acceptable, the student is asked to contact the ASL Coordinators for further discussion.
