Students Unifr
When registering for a language course for the first time, an online placement test must be completed. You can access the test when you register for a course on MyUnifr. If you have already taken the placement test in the previous semester, you do not need to retake it in the following semester.
For Italian courses, you may also have to participate in an oral placement interview (more information is contained in the online placement test).
