• You will be pre-registered in at least 2 courses prior to Sprog. One course will be your First-Year Seminar (FYS, for freshman/first-year students) or Advanced-Entry Seminar (AES, for transfer students). The other course will be an introduction course for your intended major, when possible. If you are undecided about your major, we will register you in a general education course.
• Please complete this survey to express your interests and provide us with additional information. You must complete the survey before June 7th to ensure your enrollment in the courses. 
• You will register for your remaining courses during Sprog. 
• You will be able to make schedule changes when you meet with your official advisor at the beginning of the fall semester.

You may print and sign this contract to bring with you to Sprog. We will also have printed copies at check-in that you may sign. 

If under the age of 18 during the Sprog overnight, a parent or guardian MUST sign this document prior to your stay. Students under the age of 17 are not permitted to stay the night in residence halls; we encourage those students to stay in local accommodations with family.

• Please upload your health records using the Patient Portal (SU login will be required). More information can be found here.
• You will NOT be able to spend the night for Sprog if you do not submit your health records.

• All students must take 3 semesters of a foreign language or proficiency through the 3rd semester of a foreign language as part of Southwestern’s General Education requirements. This exam will help us place you in the appropriate class.
• All students who plan to study a language taught at Southwestern which they have previously studied, and who are not transferring credit from another institution, must take a Language Placement Exam at least one week prior to Sprog. To determine which exam to take, go to the Language Placement and Credit page for more information.
• If you have experience in any of the following languages: Chinese, French, German, Greek, Latin, or Spanish, you must take the exam to determine your placement. This is the first step you must take before registering for classes at Sprog. Taking this exam does not mean that you will have to select a foreign language class for your first semester; however, it is a required step to take before you register. Your fall course registration cannot be completed until you have done so.
• If you have NO experience with another language other than English and plan to start fresh in a language offered at Southwestern or if you plan to complete a language that is not taught at Southwestern, you do NOT need to take the exam.
• Southwestern University does offer placement exams for languages not taught here. Please visit the language placement website for additional information.

Please upload a photo for your Pirate Card (student ID card) through this form by June 1st. You must be logged into your SU email account when you access the form. You will receive your ID at Sprog.
