Language Credit
The University of Utah grants credit to individuals who have learned a foreign language by immersing themselves in another culture via military service, Peace Corps duty, a religious mission, etc. There are two main ways this can be done via testing:
Avant
The Avant Assessment is a computer-based test administered in the offices of the Department of Languages and Literature located in Room 1400 of the Language and Communication Building (LNCO). Interested parties should call that office at 801-581-7561 to obtain more information and to register for the exam. Languages for which there is an Avant test include Arabic, Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, French, and Spanish.
FLATS
For these and all other languages, the University of Utah will also accept the results of a computer-based test developed by Brigham Young University called the FLATS. The FLATS can be taken at scores of satellite testing locations around the country, including the University of Utah Testing Center located in Room 498 of the Student Services Building. Those who wish to take the FLATS at the University of Utah need to register to take the test with both BYU and the University of Utah and pay their respective fees:
