2002-2003 Undergraduate Calendar

The department aims to provide students with a thorough and comprehensive coverage of spoken and written Italian, its literature and culture. In addition to the courses taught in the language, the department offers a series of courses taught in English that may be acceptable for credit toward a degree. Students are encouraged to participate in one or more of the study programs in Italy.

Summer Studies in Italy

The Italian section of the department, in conjunction with the Department of Classics, offers a course in Rome, which runs for four weeks during the month of May. The course is given in English and is open to students from any discipline. Contact the department for information and registration.

Students wishing to study in Italy through other universities may do so in consultation with the department.

Program Notes

1.	Students with OAC standing or equivalent in Italian take ITAL IF90 and may not take ITAL 1F00 and 1F01 without permission of the department. Permission is granted only in the most exceptional cases.
2.	Students without OAC standing or equivalent in the language take ITAL 1F00 and 1F01, according to their background. See individual course descriptions.
3.	ITAL 1F00 and 1F01 are introductory language courses. Students who register in 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.	ITAL 1F00 and 1F01 may be taken for degree credit, but cannot be used to meet requirements for major programs in the languages concerned.
6.	ITAL 1F00, 1F01, 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.	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.
