Placement Tests

If you have never studied Chinese and would like to begin study at the 101 or 111 level, no placement test is necessary. Go to Moore Hall 382 to fill out a form for special permission to register for a beginning language class.

Incoming students who already have some Chinese language experience and would like to continue studying at higher levels must take a placement test. Contact the undergraduate advisor, Ray Kaneyama: Moore Hall 378, (808) 956-2066, kaneyama@hawaii.edu

All incoming graduate students whose area of study is Chinese and who are not native speakers of Chinese are required to undergo a placement test during their first semester of study in order to evaluate any deficiencies. These students should contact the language coordinator, Mr. Song Jiang: Lincoln Annex 2, #7, (808) 956-2087, sjiang@hawaii.edu.
