Japanese Language Registration and Class Assessment

If you have some experience with Japanese Language or have taken classes outside of the JCCC, you can use these self-assessment tests to determine which level would be appropriate.

If a test is too challenging, try the test a level below. If it is too easy, try the test a level above.

See the class schedule and more detail information from here.

JCCC membership is required. The membership can be purchased on the same ticket if you are not already a member.

Registration for FALL 2025: 
*Priority registration (between Aug 20-Sep 3) is by invitation only for returning students from the previous term. General registration opens after the priority period.
