Guidelines for "at-Home" Language Placement Testing All students must complete at least one course at or above the Intermediate II level in a modern or classical language to complete Loyola's Core curriculum. Loyola uses placement tests to ensure that sudents are placed into language courses appropriate to their level of competancy. All students must complete the language placement test for the language that (s)he studied in high school by June 12, 2009 so that (s)he can register for a language course during registration at summer orientation. Although the math placement exam cannot be taken from home, incoming students may complete the language placement exam from home under the supervision of a proctor. No outside books or other resources can be used while taking these exams. Students who studied Chinese or Japanese in high school and wishing to continue to study either of those languages at Loyola should contact the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at 410-617-2780 to schedule an individual placement exam.
