Students who are interested in taking Spanish (e.g. SP 101: Elementary Spanish I) but have not previously taken a Spanish course at Wilkes, will need to complete the Spanish Placement Test. If you have not completed this test, you will be unable to register for SP 101.
Once completed, tests will be scored automatically. Beginning the day following completion of the test, students will be able to register for the Spanish course for which they are eligible according to the chart below.
Score Requirements
| Score | Course Eligbility |
|---|---|
| Less than 70% | Eligible for SP 101 |
| 70-90% | Eligible for SP 102 |
| Greater than 90% | Eligible for SP 203 |
Directions for completing the test are provided below.
Any questions about this process can be directed to the Chair of the Division of Global Cultures, Dr. Chris Zarpentine (570-408-4597; chris.zarpentine@wilkes.edu).
