ASL Placement Test
The ASL Placement Test was developed to assess student competencies for appropriate placement in the ASL course sequence. It consists of two components, a written knowledge test and an “interview” conducted in ASL by at least two program faculty members. Students who wish to take the placement test are informally “prescreened” to determine their viability as candidates for the test. Students who have acquired ASL skills before enrolling at UALR may apply for credit validation for their proficiency by taking the sequel language skill course and earning a grade of “B” or better. Up to nine hours of credit may be obtained in this manner. All students who do not hold an interpreting credential will be required to take the ASL placement test prior to transfer.
