The online tests (French-LPF, Italian-LPI, Spanish-LPS) are for students who have never taken a course in the language at Cornell. For internal language students, standard sequencing of courses applies.
If you are currently enrolled in 1220, the LP given as final for the course will provide you with the placement information you need. In the meantime, we recommend that you tentatively pre-enroll for a course at the level you think might be right. Once you get your LP placement, if it is different than you expected, you can switch courses as soon as online add/drop begins.
If you have taken a course at Cornell in French, Italian, or Spanish, and have since done significant work with the language, equivalent to an additional course, you will need to request a proctored test. Following are the contacts for this:
