Languages
Placement tests: All language courses have limited enrollment and, as such, may require departmental approval (issued by the department offering the course). Consult the eCalendar and/or the Minerva Class Schedule for information about placement tests or departmental approval, if necessary. Placement tests for French and English Second Language courses and for English for Academic Purposes will be held during the week prior to the beginning of classes in September.
Courses with numbers ending in D1 and D2 are taught in two consecutive terms (usually fall and winter). Students must register for the same section of both the D1 and D2 components. No credit will be given unless both components (D1 and D2) are successfully completed in consecutive terms, e.g., fall 2021 and winter 2022.
No more than one 6-credit or 9-credit language at an introductory level should be taken during the Foundation Program year. Students with prior knowledge of a language may take higher-level courses with permission from the department.
A 6-credit intensive language course given in one term is permitted - this is equivalent to two courses both in the number of credits as well as the workload.
