Spanish Placement Assessment (SPA)

Are you interested in the Spanish Transfer Pathway; our Spanish Certificate; taking a Spanish language course for personal interest; or transferring to a 4-year school that has a world language requirement? Do you speak Spanish at home and are not sure of which level to start with? Did you take Spanish in high school and want a class that's not too easy or too difficult? If so, we encourage you to take our free Spanish Placement Assessment.

The Spanish Placement Assessment is not required to take our coursework, but it will help you to:

• have a better idea of where to start
• place out of an entry-level course you do not need
• get quicker access to higher-level Spanish coursework

To take the assessment in the Testing Center, or if you have additional questions, please contact our Testing Center at 651-450-3650 or Testing center@inverhills.edu.

Be aware prior to scheduling you must have applied to Inver Hills. If you would like more information about programing prior to placement, please reach out to our admissions office at admissions@inverhills.edu, call 651-450-3902 or our Spanish language faculty member, Steven Hartlaub at 651-450-3776 or send an email to shartlaub@inverhills.edu.

Testing generally takes about 30 minutes to complete but is not timed.
