Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor.

Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Suave Mechanicals: A Celebration of Nine Volumes on the Art and History of Bookbinding (2013–2025)
DESCRIPTION:Explore the art of judging books by their covers! This exhibit highlights a selection of rare books from the University of Michigan's collections\, each of them representing binding topics featured in \"Suave Mechanicals\,\" the acclaimed nine-volume series dedicated to the study of the art and history of bookbinding.  \n\nSpanning from 2013 to 2025\, \"Suave Mechanicals\" contains 85 essays\, 27 of which examine the same type of binding as the artifacts on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com
