Spanish Placement Test Information

IMPORTANT: Students who are true beginners should not take the placement test and would need to seek an override by contacting us at wlc@northeastern.edu so they can register for an Elementary Spanish 1 class (SPNS 1101). You will be asked to provide your name and NU ID#.

If you have prior experience with the Spanish language:

• Please start by taking the online placement test. There are two links below depending on which campus you are on.

• Once you have received the results of your exam, you may enroll at the level in which you have been placed. If you are experiencing any difficulty registering, please contact us at wlc@northeastern.edu. If you feel that you have been placed at the wrong level, you should contact Professor Yelin at b.yelin@northeastern.edu to set up an oral interview.
