French, German, Spanish, and Russian General Information 1. Students with previous study of French, German, Spanish or Russian in high school who intend to continue in the language must take the online WebCAPE placement exam to determine which level of language course they need to register for at UE. 2) The purpose of this placement exam is to assess the level at which the student is most likely to succeed. Students are expected to complete the placement examination to the best of their ability, without the use of textbooks, dictionaries, or any other type of assistance. As a UE student you are expected to abide by the university’s Honor Code: I understand that any work which I submit for course credit will imply that I have adhered to this Academic Honor Code: I will neither give nor receive unauthorized aid, nor will I tolerate an environment which condones the use of unauthorized aid. 3) The Department of Foreign Languages will review the results of the placement examination in conjunction with other information, such as number of years that the language was studied, study abroad experience, other language background, etc. The Department reserves the right to change the student's placement in a course if it believes that the student has not been placed in the most appropriate course. 4) Students who believe they have not been placed at the appropriate level should contact the Department of Foreign Languages: foreignlanguage@evansville.edu 5) Students may not take the WebCAPE placement examination in a given language more than once, unless the Department Chair asks them to retake it. 6) Students should print a copy of their placement score for their records.
