Who needs to take the Foreign Language Placement Test (FLPT)?
Any student planning to attend the University of Washington and continue coursework of a foreign language used for admission to the UW must take the Foreign Language Placement Test (FLPT). For example, if you took at least 2 years of Spanish in high school, used Spanish for UW admission, and plan to continue taking Spanish at the UW, you must take the Spanish placement test before registering for a Spanish course. If you plan to take coursework at UW in a foreign language in which you have no coursework or exposure, you probably will not need to take a placement test for that language. If you have had some exposure to a language, you may want to take the FLPT to make sure you are registered for the correct course. Please contact the department sponsoring the language.
