Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I start with a language at DU?

    All incoming students who have previously studied a language and wish to enroll in that same language at DU must take a placement exam before enrolling. This exam will help us guide you to the correct course for your level. You can find more information about the exam on CWLC’s webpage. Once you’ve completed the online exam, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your placement with an advisor or simply enroll directly into the level you placed into.  

    More information about our programs and courses can be found on our LL&C Knowledge Base.

  • Can I audit a language course?

    Language courses can only be audited by full-time students at the University of Denver. Unfortunately, if you are not enrolled full-time at DU, you cannot audit a language course.  

  • Can I take a language class if I am not an admitted student at the University of Denver?

    Language classes through our department are offered exclusively to DU students. If you would like to take a language course through our department, you must enroll at the University of Denver. Information on enrollment, including special status enrollment for those not seeking degrees, can be found through the admissions office. The Center for World Languages and Cultures provides some alternate options for language instruction for non-enrolled students – please email the CWLC or visit the CWLC website for more details.
