Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI)
Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI)
OPI examinations are offered, by appointment only, on campus at the Teaching and Technology Center (Clements Hall 234). In order to schedule an OPI examination, follow these steps:
1. Pay the $195 exam fee online
2. Send a copy of your receipt by email to the World Languages & Literatures Teaching and Technology Center. Make sure that your receipt includes your first and second choice dates for testing. The first choice must be at least 72 business hours from the date of the test request (so no earlier than 3 days from now). For each block of time, you need to include a 3-hour window between the hours of 9 am - 5 pm Monday-Friday.
For example:
First choice: Thursday, Nov. 15 between 3-6 pm
Second choice: Friday, Nov. 16 between 8-11am
3. You will receive confirmation of the date, time, and location of the exam as soon as it has been scheduled.
Please note: Requests to change or cancel your test date/time must be submitted 3 business days in advance of your scheduled test. There is a $40 fee associated with any change/cancellation requests submitted less than 3 business days in advance. There is a $60 fee associated with any change/cancellation requests submitted less than 24 hours before your test. If you fail to arrive on time for your scheduled test, you will be responsible for the full cost of the exam.
