*Please note: In order to receive credit for Foreign Language CLEP
Exams, students must pass both the CLEP exam and a composition
exam given by appointment by the Department of Foreign Languages
and Literatures. If a student does not pass the composition portion of
the exam, an appeal can be placed by notifying the department. The
student’s composition will then be assessed by an additional faculty
member.
For languages other than those taught at John Jay College, students
may apply to a CUNY college that does teach that language for a
composition exam. The results will be sent to the John Jay College
foreign language department. If the language to be tested is not
taught within CUNY, the student can be tested by New York
University for a fee.
