Students will normally take the tests for diagnostic purposes during the second semester of the junior year and may repeat the tests during their senior year.

Students may participate in a university-sponsored summer program, an ISEP semester or year abroad, a program of another accredited college, an internship, or other approved activity. All language students are urged to work closely with the Institute of International Studies to explore available programs and financial resources. Students with special circumstances may petition to have an alternative immersion experience approved for this requirement. Credit earned may be applied to the major field.
