Graduate Language Exam procedure for Faculty

The GR Reading Exam will take place twice a year, in Fall and Spring semesters. The exams will be administered by a faculty member of the MA program who is in charge of collecting the papers from the students and delivering them to the FLRC Coordinator for assessment. The GR Reading Exams will be provided to the Director of the MA program via email by the FLRC Coordinator a few days before the exam is to take place. The dates of the exams and the assigned room will be posted on the Reading Exam Moodle page by an MA faculty member so that everyone who is involved in the process is informed.
