Students
with a previous background in the study of German (in high school, another
school or college, etc.) may now take an online placement test in German
and receive e-mail notification of which German course they should best
enroll in at City College. In addition, based on the placement result
and after consultation with the test advisor, the student may sign up
to earn extra units based on the previous study. Thus, if you had, for
example, two years of high school German with good grades, you take
the placement test and talk to the advisor. If the test and advisor
recommend you enroll in German 2, you take that course and upon completion
of German 2 with a grade of A or B, City College will award you units
for both German 1 and 2 (5 units per course for a total of 10 units).
Here
are the procedures: |
1. |
Log on to the internet site of the placement test from any Internet
connected computer - you can take the test in the CCSF Language Center
(second floor of the library) if you like. It should not take more than
30 minutes. |
2. |
|
3. |
Next,
type in the password: california1 (state name and the number one, lower
case) |
4. |
Then
follow the directions to take the test. |
|
After
taking the placement test, you will AUTOMATICALLY receive an email with
your result. YOU MUST PRINT OUT THIS EMAIL AND BRING IT WITH YOU TO
SEE THE GERMAN ADVISOR. Ms. Edda Brunner, is available by phone at (415)
239-3766. You will need to complete a form so that we know you want
us to grant the credit for previous study upon completion of your CCSF
German course. You may earn the same number of units for previous study
that you earn for the German course you enroll in, i.e., if you take
a three unit course successfully, we grant the previous three units;
if you take a five unit course, we grant the previous five units. There
is no charge to the student for the extra units.
The
CCSF Foreign Language Department thanks the Language Center and the
Office of Matriculation for their support in operating this pilot program.
