The Vietnamese placement test is given at the following times of year.

  • At the start of fall semester; there may also be remote testing for fall during summer.
  • At the start of spring semester.

Vietnamese placement FAQ

All you need is something to write with.
You will be notified by email within a few days. If classes are in session, we’ll be doing our best to get results out as soon as possible. If it seems like you should’ve gotten your result but you haven’t, check the confirmation email from your original placement signup to make sure you didn’t make a mistake in your email address, and also check that your UNC email is set up and working.
Please discuss your situation with the Vietnamese placement coordinator.

Placement is not a perfect science by any means, and every year we do usually make a few adjustments. If you don’t think the class you were placed in is the best level for you, we are always happy to discuss it and re-evaluate.  Ultimately, however, the department’s decision will be final.
