Speech Placement

Speech evaluation may be required of students entering some programs in the Health Sciences, including Nursing and Massage Therapy. Students will be referred by their adviser or the degree program for testing in the Department of Communication, Theatre, & Media Production, Room H-126. Students can also reach the Department at 718-631-6284 or cjimenez@qcc.cuny.edu.

Students who are required to complete SP-007 (American English Sound Structure for the Health Sciences) must do so in advance of entry into a Health Science program and should do so in the first 14 credits of study. Students are assigned to this course on the basis of a Speech Placement Test, permission of the Speech Department, or referral from the Nursing or Massage Therapy programs.

Modern Language Placement

Students may continue in a non-English modern language previously studied or start a new language of their choice. All students planning to take modern language classes need to be placed at their proper level by the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures. Prior to registering in a modern language class, students must fill out a language placement questionnaire. After reviewing this questionnaire, a modern language adviser will determine the class a student must take. Modern language placements forms can also be accessed from a link on the department website​.

Students who have already successfully completed a modern language class at Queensborough may register online for the next course in that language sequence. Students with prior studies in languages not taught at Queensborough Community College should contact the chairperson of the Department. To complete the language placement questionnaire or for questions about the placement process, please visit the Department office in room H-217 of the Humanities Building or contact the department at (718) 631-6259 or josorio@qcc.cuny.edu.
