Study Abroad in Rome: Courses
Italian language course levels are determined by placement tests to ensure the appropriate level. Since language demands are challenging,
students may be placed in a level lower than requested. Students should make sure the advisors at their home institutions are
informed about this to avoid problems with credit transfer. A minimum enrollment of 10 is required to confirm a course.
Online Registration
Students must register for all classes online at:
www.richmondinrome.it.
Registration week is: June 4-11 (fall semester), November 5-12 (spring semester)
