However, placement tests will not be administered, nor will placement credit be awarded in any of the three academic areas in which the student has earned any college credit. Credit earned through placement testing is awarded without grade and wi ithou it quality points, and no fee is exacted for such credit. The student should strive for a high score on placement tests because the resulting reduction in the number of credits to be earned to satisfy end heimmuam requirements for graduation and the tin ie made available for elective courses justify the effort. Tests are scheduled during the Summer Orientation Program and at certain other times as determined by the department concerned. Information pertinent to each area is included in the sections immediately following. Foreign Language, page 46 To determine the University level of foreign language study at which students may most profitably continue the Tanguage(s) they took in high school, a placement test may be taken by all students who have only high school credit in foreign Penotlagets and wish to earn college level credit at East Carolina University. (Read carefully the section headed PLACEMENT TESTING, ; eee Students who take the placement test may also receive by-pass credit for level 1001 through 1004, but only upon satisfacotry compte tion of validating procedures administered on this campus, as follows 1. If they place in language 1002, they will receive by-pass credit for level 1001 upon receiving a passing grade in language 1002; If they place in language 1003, they will receive by-pass credit for levels. 1001 and 1002 upon receiving a passing grade in language 1003; If they place in language 1004, they will receive by-pass credit for levels 1001, 1002, and 1003 upon receiving a passing grade in language 1004; If they place ¢ above language 1004 on the written exam, they will receive credit for levels 10017, 1002, 1003, and 1004 upon applying for and demonstrating proficiency on a departmental qualifying test (or, if they prefer, upon receiving a passing grade in a course above ‘ahyuene 1004).
