Chinese Language Placement

For students who have taken Chinese in high school or at another college or university, William & Mary's Chinese program offers placement advising sessions on Monday, January 19, 2026 from 10am-12pm in Washington Hall 316. Students will meet with faculty to discuss their previous language study and decide on appropriate placement. In some cases, students will take a short placement test. Advising sessions are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. No appointment is needed, but please fill out a registration form (Google doc) before January 17.

Please note: The purpose of this placement advising is to help students find the most appropriate language class to continue Chinese learning at William & Mary. It is not an alternative way of fulfilling the Foreign Language Proficiency Requirement (FLP). For questions about alternate fulfillment of FLP, please visit the FLP website or contact the Registrar Office. 

For questions about the placement advising sessions, please contact the Chinese program placement coordinator, Professor [[qsu,Qian Su]], or Chinese program director, Professor [[eewilcox,Emily Wilcox]]. We look forward to meeting you!
