Special Note Regarding Arabic Courses

* Arabic I requires a placement test. Please follow the steps below to take the test, which will be administered by Fawakih Institute:

• Visit the placement page at https://fawakih.org/placement
• Write Mishkah University in the section that asks “How did you hear about us?”
• After you have completed your test, please email us at [email protected] and submit your name and the email address you used to take the test. We will then follow up with you regarding your results and registration.

*Arabic II, III, and IV require either a test out or successful completion of the preceding class.

(Please note that a test-out is different from a placement test – the placement test is meant to determine the student’s eligibility to enroll in Arabic I. If a student places at any level higher than Arabic I, they would still need to test out of the lower-level courses to receive credit for these courses.)

* Quran Memorization and Tajweed courses require a placement test – Registered students will be notified how to take the test.
