GENERAL INFORMATION
Students requiring assistance or counselling should consult the Department of French (585-4141, AH 413). However, those students who do not have grade 12 French should consult the Language Institute.
Students who completed FR100 and FR 101 or FR 102 to satisfy the language requirement for the BA, and who wish to resume their studies in French after considerable absence, should consult the Department of French for advice and placement.
FR 100, FR 101, and FR 102 aim at giving beginners or near-beginners a degree of oral and written proficiency. These courses do not count towards a French major but each carries 3 hours of degree program credit.
