EXEMPT means that your test scores have fulfilled the CUA undergraduate language requirement.  You are not required to take any additional language courses at CUA unless your major or minor requires it or unless you wish to do so.

CONSULT means that as soon as possible you should consult the departmental undergraduate adviser to ensure proper placement in your next language course.

TEST means that you should also take the departmental placement exam if you wish to seek entry to a course above the beginning (101) level.  Click on their names to learn more about the Greek or Latin placement exams.
