La Cité’s French Placement Test
If you have already taken a French course at the University of Regina or have some knowledge of French, you are required to take a placement test before enrolling in a course or program in the Department of French and Francophone Intercultural Studies or Bac.
This pre-registration assessment evaluates your written French skills before placing you in the credit course best suited to your level.
Following the test, you will be informed of your results by a member of our team.
N.B.
- You must take the test before you can enrol in credit courses in French if you have been educated in French or have lived or studied in a French-language environment.
- Students who have never taken French classes may enrol directly in FRN 100.
The test takes approximately 20 minutes, after which the results will be emailed to you within 1 to 3 business days.
