Advising & Placement: Hebrew (Modern)

If you have previously taken Hebrew and have questions about which course is appropriate for you, we recommend you take a placement test to help determine your level of proficiency. Please contact Dr. Moshe Rachmuth at rachmuth@pdx.edu to set up a day and time to take a placement test. Please include the following information in your email:
•  PSU ID number
•  Where and when you studied the language and for how long
•  How long it has been since you last studied the language

Please note:  This placement test does not waive Second Language Requirements. Students who need to take a proficiency exam to fulfill the second language requirement for the admission, Bachelor of Arts (BA), or Master of Arts (MA), see the Second Language Requirements page for information and instructions. 

Request a Faculty Advisor for Hebrew Minors

• If you plan to minor in Hebrew, please complete the Advisor Request Form to request a faculty advisor. Once you submit this form, you will be matched with a language advisor and notified via email from world@pdx.edu.

Registration Overrides

• A registration override might be required for certain prerequisites, co-requisite, class time conflicts, closed and restricted classes, etc.
• To request a registration override, please contact the faculty member who teaches the course for assistance. If no instructor is listed, please email world@pdx.edu.
• When your instructor or the department provides a registration override for you it does not mean you are registered. You must still log on to your myPSU account and register for the course.
• Your instructor and the department provide registration overrides by CRN only. This means you will only be able to register for the particular section your instructor has authorized. Other sections will still have have restrictions if you attempt to register.
• If you are currently on the waitlist and have received a Faculty Override from your instructor, you must register for the course via myPSU. Under Add/Drop Courses, you must first drop from the waitlist by selecting "Drop Waitlist", then re-add the course by selecting "Reinstate Course" from the drop-down menu in the Action Field.
