French

To determine your appropriate placement in French, answer the following questions:

  • Is French spoken in your home? If yes, contact Dr. Julie Baker for placement.
  • Have you studied French for one year in high school? If yes, contact Dr. Julie Baker for placement.
  • Have you studied French for two years in high school? If yes, and you took French in your junior and senior years, choose French 221 (no approval necessary to register). If your last French class was more than six months ago, contact Dr. Julie Baker for placement assistance.
  • Have you studied French for three or more years in high school? If yes, register for French 221 (no approval necessary). Students with four or more years of study are strongly encouraged to take the placement test. Your test score may exempt you from the requirement and allow you to register directly into 300-level language courses in French. Students are welcome to complete the test online to be considered eligible for exemption. Submit your details on the online test request form to receive access instructions that will then be provided via email. You may request multiple tests, but remember to allow sufficient time. Each test normally takes 20-30 minutes to complete, however you should allow an hour for each test in your schedule.
