Placement Exam
Introduction
Students who have not previously taken Japanese at UCD but have prior experience or study of Japanese
elsewhere (including at home) must take the Japanese Placement Test before enrollment in the appropriate course
can be approved.
Scheduled testing is offered several times a year. Check with the LLC (Language Learning Center) for details. (Follow the link to PLACEMENT EXAMS.)
You are urged to take the test at the earliest possible date to increase the likelihood you will be able to enroll in the appropriate course. Keep in mind that foundation-level Japanese language courses (JPN 1 through JPN 113) are offered only once each year.
As stated in the current GENERAL CATALOG, "The Foreign Language Placement Test determines ... at which point in the language sequence you should enroll." The program coordinator and course instructors have the final say in evaluating placement test results and determining appropriate placement. Students must drop as soon as possible any course they are enrolled in that is determined not to be at the appropriate level.
Students are responsible to know the material covered in courses prior in the sequence to the one they enroll in. Check the course descriptions on the Course Overview page for details. The textbooks and workbooks for each course are available in Shields Library Reserves; material related to kanji covered in each course is available on the Kanji List page.
