All students seeking entry intoChinese courses who have not previously taken acourse in Chinese at the University of Calgary mustobtain, complete and return a Placement ApplicationForm from the Department of Germanic, Slavic andEast Asian Studies (Craigie Hall, Room C205).

Based on the information provided in the PlacementApplication Form (see above), students will receive

notification from the Chinese Program Adviser toappear for an oral interview at a designated time,and/or the written placement test.• Written placement tests are scheduled to take

place in Craigie Hall at 13:30 on the lastThursday in April and the last Thursday inAugust. For information about placementtests call 220-5293.

• There is a $20.00 fee for writing the Place-ment Test.

• No one will be permitted to apply forplacement more than once.

• No written placement tests will be adminis-tered outside this official schedule.

The Chinese Program Committee determines theappropriate course placement for each student.Placement results will be posted within theDepartment (or students may telephone 220-5293).Because registration approval is given after eachtest date, students should be aware that individualcourses may be full before the August test date.• Permission to register or remain in a particular

language course can be refused if theDepartment judges that the student’sknowledge exceeds the level of that course.

• Native speakers are not eligible to takelanguage courses by special assessment or toreceive advanced credit for them.

• Completion of Chinese 205 and/or 207 as atransfer course does NOT exempt a studentfrom taking the GSEA placement test.
