Those students who have taken AP and/or CLEP examination(s) through ETS are still required to take Drexel's placement examination(s) for scheduling purposes. Once AP/CLEP scores are provided to the University by ETS - often after the scheduling deadline - adjustments to a student's schedule will be made by his or her academic advisor.
For subjects other than Modern Languages, please refer to the Guide to Taking the Placement Examination (s).
Student Enrollment Procedure for ML Classes
Once students have established their language level, they can enroll or contact Modern Languages any time at 215 895 5816. Student who have never studied the language of choice, enroll in a 101 class.
Information regarding classes, schedules and rooms can be found on the Term Master Schedule page.
Some classes will have times assigned, others will have TBA (To Be Announced) next to them. It is imperative that students sign up for the TBA classes although they do not have times assigned. Modern Languages schedules these language classes around the students’ other classes. If students do not register, their names will not appear on the class roster and their needs will not be put into consideration when the smaller TBA classes are scheduled.
