Enrolment Guidelines
ENROLMENT IN FRENCH COURSES
The majority of students in the Faculty of Arts and Science will enroll for the 2011-2012 Fall and Winter sessions during the Summer of 2011.
Students must respect all requirements stated in the exclusions and prerequisites when enrolling in a course. Students who do not have the co- or prerequisite(s) for a given course must obtain permission from the Department before registration. The Department will assess students’ admissibility to the course in consultation with the instructor. For FSL courses, prerequisites and exclusions ensure that students are offered the most appropriate language learning experience possible.
The Placement Test (www.lang.utoronto.ca/placement/french) is mandatory for all students who wish to register in an FRE or FSL course for the first time, except for true beginners with no knowledge of French. The test can be taken only once and the results of the first test will prevail in the event of several attempts. Ideally, the Placement Test should be taken in the term preceding the course in which students intend to register (e.g., for a Fall term or Y course, during the summer term prior to ROSI registration and before the beginning of classes). Students not having access to a computer capable of managing sound files should write to french.placement@utoronto.ca to arrange to take the test at the Department. Please allow three to five working days to obtain the test results.
Instructors check students’ academic credentials in the first weeks of classes. Students who do not comply with prerequisites or exclusions will be asked to withdraw, unless they obtain the permission from the Department. It is students’ responsibility to ensure they meet the deadline to withdraw or add a course with no penalty.
ENROLMENT IN FRE 490Y1, 491H1/492H1
FRE 490Y1, 491H1/492H1 are courses intended to enable students in good standing to study a topic or area not covered in the current departmental offerings. Only 1.0 FCE may be included in a Specialist Program, and only 0.5 FCE in a Major Program.
To enroll in either FRE 490Y1 (Senior Essay) or FRE 491H1/492H1 (Independent Study), applicants must follow the procedures outlined in the Guidelines for Independent Study Topics.
EXEMPTION FROM REQUIRED FSL COURSES
Students may be exempted from the FSL courses required in French programs on the basis of their linguistic competence. To be exempted, students must contact Ms. Linda Lamisong to obtain a Waiver of Program Requirement. In most cases, students will need to sit the Placement Test at the Department.
Native or fluent speakers of French are excluded from all FSL courses with the exception of those needing to improve their written or oral skills who must request permission from the Associate Chair, Undergraduate studies to enroll in FSL442H1 or 443H1. Such students will be asked to complete the Placement Test at the Department.
Students who obtain a final mark of 77% or higher in FSL 421Y1 are exempted from the FSL 442H1, 443H1 requirement in the French Specialist Programs.
Exemptions do not reduce the total number of courses required for a program.
College Courses, FCS, JFI, JFL and JFV courses are taught in English with reading and written assignments in English. No knowledge of French is required. However, students can count these courses with the exception of FCS 195H1 towards a program in French (Major or Specialist ONLY) if they submit all written work and tests in French. These students must, during the first week of class, inform their instructor of their intent to do so and ask their instructor to fill the Request for Credit towards a Specialist or Major Program in French which is handed in to the Department at the same time as the final marks.
ANCILLARY FEES
As a matter of principle, the University will be responsible for the delivery of an academic program. Students are expected to purchase the materials (books, photocopied handouts, etc.) required for the program.
