Students who have studied Japanese elsewhere before coming to UMass, as well as those returning from study abroad, and those who have discontinued learning the language over four semesters must take the placement test in order to be placed in the appropriate level. We administer the placement test a week before the Fall and Spring semesters begin.
Important: Please make sure to register at least 10 days before the semester begins.
Please register to take the placement test using the following link. Additional information can be found there.
