Placement Testing and Orientations
All participants in Level 2 or above, including Indiana University students, complete a placement test before being admitted.
You will receive your placement estimate before you make any financial commitment to the Workshop. You will have time to withdraw without penalty if you choose not to enroll at the estimated placement level.
Placement testing begins in March and is calibrated to take into account that you are likely to be in the middle of a semester at the time of placement.
All participants' laguage levels are reassessed on Day One to ensure that they are enrolled at the correct level. Placement decisions after student arrival are final.
Students participate in a general orientation before their first class that covers issues relevant to students studying in the Online Program. For example questions about IU and Workshop policy, billing, student services, etc.
Academic Matters
Online Workshop courses offers extra-curricular online activities and events specific to their language. Events may be mandatory or optional, depending on the language in question. Your instructors will provide details.
Students may attend events hosted by other languages if they speak the language in question or have been informed in advance that the event is in English.
The Workshop events calendar is available at: http://languageworkshop.iu.edu/events.
