From any computer with Internet access, you can take the free online Spanish placement exam at this URL: http://webcape.byuhtrsc.org/?acct=gpc. The password is "gpc". The exam takes from 5 minutes to 20 minutes, depending on your knowledge of the Spanish language. When you finish the exam your results will be displayed for you along with the Spanish class you tested into. Students who test into SPAN 1001 can register themselves. Students who test into SPAN 1002 or higher will need a department chair's assistance to register. If you test into SPAN 1002 or above, and you plan to take the course you tested into online, copy and paste the results into an e-mail and send it from your GPC e-mail account to Andrea.Morgan@gpc.edu with a request to be registered for the online Spanish course you placed into. Students who plan to take SPAN 1002 or higher on one of the GPC campuses should take a printout of their results to the department chair of ESL and Foreign Languages on the campus they attend.
