2023-2024 JNHS-CC Online Application Form
The Japanese National Honor Society-College Chapter (JNHS-CC) recognizes and encourages scholastic achievement and excellence in the study of the Japanese Language. Students who are nominated for membership receive Certificates of Excellence and red-and -white cords to wear at graduation and are recognized on the American Association of Teachers of Japanese (AATJ) website and in its newsletter. Sponsoring instructors also receive recognition.

Academic criteria for student membership in JNHS-CC are as follows:

    Completion of five semester or seven quarter courses of Japanese language study (or their equivalent) at the college undergraduate level. All five semester courses or seven quarter courses must be language study taken for a grade (as opposed to audit or pass-fail). Transfer credits from post-secondary institutions other than the institution from which the student will receive the undergraduate degree may count toward these credit requirements up to a maximum of two semester courses or three quarter courses (or their equivalent);
   
    1) a GPA of 3.5 in Japanese language courses
    2) an overall GPA of 3.0
