Persian Language Course Placement and Sequence Policy
Students must take Persian language courses in the correct sequence, based on their actual proficiency. While some pairs (e.g., PERS 200/201 or 300/301) may be taken in either order, students may not register for a lower-level course after completing a higher-level one (e.g., completing PERS 201 and then taking PERS 104 or 101).
Placement is required for most courses to ensure appropriate class placement. The Department of Asian Studies may withdraw students if their placement is inaccurate.
Enrolling out of sequence affects learning and placement integrity. Please consult the Persian language program or a placement advisor to find your correct starting point.
