  Japanese Placement Test for Yale-NUS students
  The NUS Centre for Language Studies will run the Japanese Placement Exam on 6 May for Yale-NUS students interested in studying Japanese next semester. If you are interested, please register using the form attached here.

  Written test: 6th May 2019, Monday, 10am followed by oral interview in the afternoon.
  Venue: AS4/0519

  Email the completed form directly to clskita@nus.edu.sg before 2 May. Additionally, you should print out a copy (front and back), sign it, and bring it with you on the test day.

  Things to keep in mind:

  If you are planning to attend an intensive Japanese language course or do intensive self-study during the summer, you are strongly recommended to attend the placement test on 26th July or 5th Aug 2019 (tentatively).

  This placement test is strictly for Yale-NUS students who wish to register for LAJ modules in AY2019-2020 Semester 1.

  If you are not planning to register for an LAJ module next semester, please take the placement test immediately before the semester you wish to register.

  If you have no prior knowledge of Japanese Language, you do not need sit for the placement test.

  After the placement exam:

  Once you get a recommended module after the placement test, please notify our Registry Office so that they can help you register for it.

  If adding a Japanese module leads to an overload – you will not be pre-allocated but rather will have to go to ModReg to select the course in Round 3. Alternatively, you can drop another allocated module in order to select this CLS module during Round 2. Students are to select tutorials via ModReg during Round 3 by default.

  If there’s a timetable clash with the Japanese module you intend to take, Registry will ask you to choose which module you want to keep.

  Registering for Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and Italian

  In order to facilitate the registration process for Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and Italian, the final timetable has not been set during Rounds 1A and 1B. If you are interested in studying one of these languages next semester, please select the module in Round 1A or Round 1B (these modules will appear with a dummy schedule). At the end of those rounds, Registry will work with the module instructor on a suitable timetable that will accommodate as many students as possible. You will find out whether your registration was successful when Round 2 opens in July 2019.
  More details on the registration process available soon. Contact languages@yale-nus.edu.sg with any questions.
