    Take the Language Placement test

    • Students who are continuing to study a language they started learning prior to DU take a placement test to determine their starting course level. Transfer students should speak with an Academic Advisor if they have transfer language credit and next steps. 
    • Some degree programs are exempt from the language requirement which includes the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and all Engineering degree programs. Students with these declared degree types do not need to take the proficiency placement test.
    • Contact cwlc@du.edu for questions regarding your placement test results.

    To verify you’ve received your transfer credits, please log in to MyDU > Student tools widget > My Student Profile > Prior Education and Testing (left-hand side), where your scores are displayed.

    If you have not requested your scores, please see directions below:

    • Request that your AP Scores (if applicable) be sent to DU through the AP Portal (school code is 4842) 
    • IB graduates (if applicable) request your transcripts be sent directly to University of Denver through the IB Portal.
