2024-2025 Undergraduate Calendar

The Department aims to provide students with a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of spoken and written French, as well as French and Francophone literatures and cultures. 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 Studies.

The Department favours and facilitates participation by students of French Studies at all levels to engage in French immersion and exchange programs offered in France and Quebec French-speaking regions. Students must speak with the Director of French Studies and their academic advisor in September of the academic year before the exchange will occur.

The Department does not recognize challenge for credit nor on-line or distance education courses offered by other institutions.

Program Notes

1.	Students with Ontario 4U/M standing or equivalent in French take FREN 1F90 and may not take FREN 1F00 or 1F50 without permission of the Department. Permission is granted only in the most exceptional cases. Students whose first language is French and who obtained a minimum of 75 percent in Grade 12 French at a francophone school register in FREN 2F00 and FREN 2F03; francophone students whose average is lower than 75 percent in Grade 12 French at a francophone school register in FREN 1F90.
2.	Students without Ontario 4U/M standing or equivalent take FREN 1F00 or 1F50 according to their background. Students with Ontario grade 9 French or equivalent or less take FREN 1F00.

Failure to do so will result in deregistration from the course.
4.	Unless otherwise stated in the course description, courses numbered 2(alpha)00 or above are taught in French while courses numbered 1F90 and below are taught in French to the extent possible.
5.	FREN 1F00 and 1F50 may be taken for degree credit but cannot be used to meet requirements for major programs in French. However, FREN 1F50 may be included in a minor program in French.
6.	French courses numbered 1F00, 1F50, 1F90, 2F00, 3P03 and 4P03 constitute a sequence. Once credit has been obtained in one of these courses, students are not allowed to take for credit a course in this sequence with a lower number. 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.	Departmental courses noted as given in English may be included in major programs. Single Honours programs may include no more than one and one-half credits in such courses; single Pass programs may include no more than one-half credit in such courses; combined Pass programs may include no more than one credit in such courses. Combined Honours programs may include no more than one and one-half credits in such courses. If both combined Honours programs are chosen from French Studies, Hispanic and Latin American Studies or Italian Studies, one-half credit for each language is allowed.
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.	After completing the required prerequisites, non-FRED students registered in the Concurrent Education program who are working towards a teachable in French-as-a-second-language must select one credit from the following list: 2F03, 2P10, 2P44, 2P57, 3P03, 3P05, 3P20, 3P90.
