Certificates of Advanced Proficiency Online

This semester, students of Chinese, French, German, and Spanish have the opportunity to complete the Certificate of Advanced Proficiency in their language.

These certificate programs are intended for undergraduate students who are interested in achieving advanced-level proficiency, and having their skills formally recognized. The final elements of the certificate programs, the self-assessments, the critical reflection essay and the ACTFL tests, are all exclusively online. Because the tests will be remotely administered by the Language Testing Program over several days, beginning the process early is essential.

Test registration is currently underway. Students who are interested in retaking the tests are encouraged to contact the appropriate language program right away:

• Chinese = Schedule an appointment
• French = Email frenstds@umn.edu
• German = Email gercert@umn.edu
• Spanish = Email SPAdvise@umn.edu

Students can also contact the Language Testing Program with questions about the tests.
