The University of Tulsa Students with
previous classroom or life experience in French, German, or Spanish who intend
to continue studying the same language must take its online Computer-Aided
Placement Exam (CAPE). Enrolling under these conditions without having taken the
placement test will result in the student being removed from the class list.
These policies also apply to native speakers of a Romance language who intend to
take courses either in their native tongue or in another language taught by the
Department. CAPE scores are forwarded automatically to TU’s
Department of Languages, where they are factored in with other relevant
information to determine course placement. At the time of enrollment, the
student’s advisor consults the placement decision made by the Department of
Languages and advises the student to enroll accordingly. Students who do not
enroll in the recommended course will be removed from the class list. Depending upon performance in class, some students
may be moved to a higher or lower level during the first two weeks of the
semester. Although taking the CAPE is optional for students receiving AP or IB
language credit, it is advisable for the Department of Languages to have a
placement score on hand for every student. Taking
the CAPE is a simple process – visit the web site, and follow the
instructions. You will need your
assigned University of Tulsa ID number
when you take the exam. Computer-Aided Placement Exams are available at: http://webcape.byuhtrsc.org/nwcregister.php?acct=utulsa User ID: utulsa user (all lower case) Password: hurricane The language placement examination does not grant academic credit, nor
can it be used to test out of the language proficiency requirement.
However, a student who enrolls in a language course above 1004 (Beginning I) and
completes the course with a grade of C or better can receive credit for the
previous course through the delayed proficiency credit policy.
