New Students – Who Studied Japanese at High School

For students who studied Japanese at high school, they can receive an advanced placement within classes based on an assessment by the instructor. Students who have a high course grade in their introductory Japanese classes in high school can request to advance to JAPA 101 or JAPA 201 depending on availability.

1. You must bring your high school transcript on the first day of the class if you registered in JAPA101 or JAPA200 without completing prerequisite courses.

2. If you have taken Japanese 12 but want to take JAPA100 and/or JAPA101 for review purposes, you must obtain a permission from your instructor.

Notes: Students who completed the high school Japanese course three or more years prior to the registration need to receive a placement before the course starts to ensure their current level of proficiency.  Please contact the Japanese Program to make an arrangement for the placement.
