Freshmen English Placement Test

General Guidelines

  • Mandatory Placement Test: All incoming freshmen are required to take the 4-Year Undergraduate Freshmen English Placement Test (hereinafter referred to as the "Freshmen Placement Test") in August of their enrollment year. The test score will serve as the student's entry English proficiency record, determining whether they qualify for credit waivers, exemptions, or placement into specific compulsory English courses in accordance with the Regulations on English Competency Requirements.

  • Exemption Criteria: Students who already hold a valid official English proficiency test certificate/score report meeting the CEFR B1 level or above (for detailed standards, please refer to the Regulations on English Competency Requirements on the Language Center website) may apply for an exemption from the Freshmen Placement Test and register their entry English score.

  • How to Apply: Applicants must complete the online application form on the Language Center website within the designated timeframe for their admission round (as indicated in the university enrollment notice). Following the online submission, applicants must visit the Language Center within the first two weeks of the semester for in-person verification.

  • Required Documents for In-Person Verification: Applicants must bring the following two items to the Language Center:

    1. Original English Proficiency Test Score Report (or Certificate): Must be a valid official score matching the online application and meeting the standards specified in the Regulations on English Competency Requirements. The original will be returned after verification. (If the official testing institution only provides electronic score reports, please log in and display your score on-screen during verification).

    2. Photocopy of the Score Report (or Certificate): Must match the original; please prepare one copy in advance.

  • Course Module Placement: All students admitted from the 2022 academic year onwards must register an entry English proficiency score to be placed into one of the three English course levels (Modules). Students must take courses according to their assigned module; those who are not assigned to a course module will be unable to enroll in Freshmen Compulsory English courses.
