UT-Austin Students
Except for students who have previously completed one or more Hindi courses at the university level, all students with some knowledge of Hindi must take the UT Austin Test for Credit in Hindi (from Student Testing Services) to determine the appropriate course for registration or to test out of the language. Heritage speakers—students who understand and speak but do not read or write Hindi—are advised to take the accelerated HIN 604/612 sequence. Students who are tested out of the language through the Hindi placement exam and would like to study Hindi further may contact Dr. Dalpat S. Rajpurohit (drajpurohit@austin.utexas.edu) for appropriate course options. Students unsure about whether to take HIN 506 or 604 should also contact Dr. Rajpurohit.

Texas High School Students
Credit-by-Exam (CBE) tests are available through UT High School. High school students anywhere in the state of Texas can arrange an online exam to receive credits toward their diploma. The exams cover all levels of the current foreign language requirement in Texas (1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b). Please visit the UT High School site for study guides and details for the exams.
Other University and High School Students
Professional evaluations and testing for academic credits or requirements at other universities and high schools are possible, but must be arranged directly with Dr. Dalpat S. Rajpurohit in the Department of Asian Studies. To obtain formal, transcriptable university credits, we recommend applying for the South Asia Summer Language Institute (SASLI) hosted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
