Does my course start with an orientation test?

Almost all of our courses start with an orientation test (except for some courses for beginners). This way we check whether the course of your choice matches your prior knowledge. If this orientation test shows that a different courses matches your prior knowledge better, we will register you for this course because we think it is more suitable for you. In that case, you will receive an email from noreply.sap@ugent.be. In the attachment to this mail, you will find a new invoice with the information about your new course. If there is no alternative course available or if you are not interested in the course we propose, you can cancel your registration without cost. The result of this orientation test is binding and valid for the period of one year.

• The placement test for our foreign language courses usually takes place during the first lesson of the course.
• For French, you need to book an appointment for a telephone oral test after completing the online self-assessment.
• The orientation test for our Dutch courses for Speakers of Other Languages takes place before the first session.
