Prior to your arrival you will take an online placement exam to determine your language proficiency. Your performance on this exam will determine the classes for which you are eligible as well as your official acceptance into the USAL. If you do not place into at least the high intermediate level, you will not be accepted into the USAL and will therefore need to switch to a different ISA program entirely. ISA cannot guarantee that you will place into the appropriate language level in order to fulfill academic credit requirements nor can we manipulate the results of your placement exam in any way. The second portion of the placement exam will be taken once on site.
