» Language Planning Form
The Language Planning Form should be completed by any incoming first-year student, ideally before Friday, June 14. This will help us potentially block schedule you into a language class, pending available space. Transfer students who have not fulfilled their language requirement should also complete the form.
At Chapman, you are required to take language classes as part of your General Education requirements. You can learn more on our Language Exams page.
Once you have a good idea of how you plan to satisfy the language requirement, please submit the Language Planning Form (you will need to login with your Chapman email and password). This will help us best support you through the academic advising process.
One the form, you can indicate whether you plan to:
- Waive out of your language requirement through one of the following:
- Course credit granted by passing AP/IB exam scores or college credit at 201 level or higher. (View required AP scores and IB scores.)
- Completing all years at a four-year (or local equivalent) high school abroad in a non-English speaking country, in a non-English language high school.
- Pass a Language Proficiency Exam that demonstrates fluency in a language other than English.
- Place in a higher-level language class (above beginner level) through one of the options below. This would lower the number of language classes you take at Chapman:
- Taking an online Language Placement Exam. This is recommended for anyone continuing in a language from high school. The Language Placement Exams will place you in the appropriate level of language class (101, 102 or 201) based on your abilities.
- Course credit granted by passing AP/IB exam scores or college credit at 101 or 102 level. (View required AP scores and IB scores.)
- Start fulfulling your language requiremement with a beginner level course.
Additional details and instructions are available on the Language Planning Form. Thank for in advance for completing at your earliest convenience!
