Go to www.languagetesting.com/scale_acad.htm for description of score. Students are advised to schedule their OPI after two years of language study (or the equivalent) and as soon as possible after study abroad by completing a Telephonic Oral Proficiency Interview Form available through the Department of Modern Languages. Students will pay $134.00 for their interview. Half-hour telephonic interviews will occur during final exam week in the library. Interviews will be rated by two ACTFL certified officials. Ratings will be accessed by password and certificates printed out if the necessary score is achieved.

Students may petition the BAIS Faculty Advisory Board through the BAIS Coordinator to have a language they take elsewhere fulfill the BAIS requirement, and complete an Oral Proficiency Interview according to standards and process outlined by the BAIS Faculty Advisory Board. If possible, it is advised that students make their petition before beginning the planned language study.
