*Arabic II, III, and IV require either a test out or successful completion of the preceding class.
(Please note that a test-out is different from a placement test – the placement test is meant to determine the student’s eligibility to enroll in Arabic I. If a student places at any level higher than Arabic I, they would still need to test out of the lower-level courses to receive credit for these courses.)
* Quran Memorization and Tajweed courses require a placement test – Registered students will be notified how to take the test.
