Pre-register for the Fall 2016 Foreign Language Examinations by Friday 9/23
Pre-registration for the Fall 2016 GW-proctored Foreign Language Examinations is NOW OPEN!
Reading Exams will be conducted: November 2, 3 and 4.
Oral Exams will be conducted November 17, 18, 21, 22 and 23.
All pre-registrations must be completed by Friday, September 23rd, 2016.
If you have taken and passed one part of the exam in a previous semester, you do not need to take that exam again. You only need to register for the portion of the exam you have not already passed.
Pre-registration does not confirm your registration for a specific examination time. This process merely assists us in planning resources for the examination process. Students who pre-register will be given a "head start" in the registration process, and will therefore be more likely to be able to take the examination at a time convenient to them. There may be additional examination slots available to students who do not pre-register, but we cannot guarantee a slot for students who are not pre-registered.
If you do have any questions regarding the proficiency examination or pre-registration process, please contact Patrick Murphy at esialang@gwu.edu.
