2002-2003 Undergraduate Calendar

The Department aims to provide students with a thorough and comprehensive coverage of spoken and written Spanish, its literature and culture. In addition to the courses taught in Spanish, 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 the study program in Latin America.

Third-year in Cuba

Students have the opportunity to study during their third year at the University of Matanzas. In addition to studying Spanish language, literature and culture, students may also take courses in Business, the Humanities, the Social Sciences and other areas. Students must apply in their second year and have credit in SPAN 1F90.

Students should consult with the Department about other opportunities for intensive study abroad courses at different levels in Spain (Alcala de Henares) or Latin America (Oaxaca, Mexico).

Latin American Study Abroad

This annual program, cosponsored with History, offers students an opportunity to study for the month of May in Latin America (e.g., Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Costa Rica). Students must consult with the Department prior to registration to determine the location.

Participants earn a credit in Spanish language from beginner to advanced as appropriate as well as onehalf credit from V99. See the departmental website for more details.

Program Notes

1.	Students with OAC standing or equivalent in Spanish take SPAN IF90 and may not take SPAN 1F00 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 SPAN 1F00.
3.	SPAN 1F00 is an introductory language course. Students who register in this course 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 and above are taught in the language, while courses numbered 1F90 and below are taught in the language to the extent possible.
5.	SPAN 1F00 may be taken for degree credit, but cannot be used to meet requirements for major programs in the languages concerned.
6.	SPAN 1F00, 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.
