Thank you for taking the Avant Language Placement Test. Please present a copy of your Avant Placement
Test Score (given to you by the testing center) to registration. You should register for the appropriate Arabic, French, German, Italian, or Spanish class according to the chart below. You must register in person as the online system does not recognize your score as a bypass to the pre-requisites. You do not need a signature as the test score is your proof of placement.
