Any students who have taken Chinese language courses before (in high school, community college, or elsewhere) or if they speak Chinese as a heritage language will have to take the Chinese placement assessment before enrolling in a Chinese language course. 

To sign up for a placement assessment, please fill out this form and you'll be contacted within 24 hours.

Who does not need to take a placement assessment?

• Students who have no prior knowledge of the Chinese language can simply enroll in Chinese 1 (only offered in the Fall quarter).
• Students who have successfully completed a Chinese language course at UCSC can advance to the next level without taking a placement assessment again.

Please understand that many classes fill up very quickly; placement results do not guarantee you a spot in the class.
