2002-2003 Undergraduate Calendar

The Department aims to provide students with a thorough and comprehensive coverage of spoken and written, French, its literature and culture. In addition to the courses taught in French, the department offers a series of courses taught in English (designated MLLC) that may be acceptable for credit toward a degree in French.

The department favours and facilitates participation by students of French at all levels in Spring/Summer French immersion programs offered in France and Québec. In addition, the concurrent French Teaching Specialization BA (honours)/BEd includes a year of study in a Frenchspeaking environment approved by the department.

Program Notes

1.	Students with OAC standing or equivalent in French take FREN 1F90, and may not take FREN 1P01, 1P02 and 1P03 without permission of the department. Permission is granted only in the most exceptional cases. Français and Immersion students may take FREN 2F00 and 2F03 with permission of the department; normally, they take FREN 1F90.
2.	Students without OAC standing or equivalent take FREN 1P01, 1P02 or 1P03, according to their background. See individual course descriptions.
3.	FREN 1P01, 1P02 and 1P03 are introductory language courses. Students who register in any of these courses must bring their official high school transcript to the department as proof of their level of competency in order to receive departmental confirmation of registration before the end of the second week of classes (see Undergraduate Academic Calendar). Failure to do so will result in deregistration from the course.
4.	Unless otherwise noted in the course description, courses numbered 2(alpha)00 or above are taught in the language while courses numbered 1F90 and below are taught in the language to the extent possible.
5.	FREN 1P01, 1P02 and 1P03 may be taken for degree credit, but cannot be used to meet requirements for major programs in the languages concerned.
6.	Language courses numbered 1P01, 1P02, 1P03, 1F90 and 2F00 constitute a sequence. Once credit has been obtained in one of these courses, students are not allowed to take for credit a course in the same language with a lower number in the sequence. Students may not take two courses at different levels in the sequence during the same term. This regulation also applies to courses taken at other institutions.
7.	Courses noted as given in English may be included in major programs. Single honours programs may include no more than two and onehalf credits in such courses; single pass and combined honours programs may include no more than two credits in such courses; combined pass programs may include no more than one and onehalf credits in such courses.
8.	The department reserves the right to refuse admission to and/or credit for any of its language courses to a student who has, in the view of the department, a level of competence unsuited to that course.
9.	9 In all 20 credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above. In all 15 credit degree programs, at least seven credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, three of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above.
