The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures reserves the right to refuse registration in language courses to students who have attended high schools where the language of instruction is the same as the language taught in the course or students whose knowledge of the language is above the level expected in the course in question. If it becomes clear that a student registered in such a course meets either of the above criteria, then the student will be required to either withdraw from the course or take a placement test. Enrolment in two different levels of a language program during the same academic session is not permitted, except for literature and culture courses. A student may not register in a lower-level language course after successfully completing one at a higher level. Language classes are not open to auditors. Students who wish to take a language course for which they lack either the prerequisite or an appropriate equivalence must write a placement test. The Department reserves the right to place students at their proficiency level in accordance with the result of their placement test. Placement is also subject to availability. The test serves to determine only the level of proficiency and is not a course equivalence. To write a placement test, please go to the Department of Modern Lauguages and Literatures, Monday to Friday between 9 am and 12 pm or 1 pm and 3 pm at 70 Laurier East, room 134.
