Schedule of Classes Quarterly Archive for "French"

French department comments:

Students, who have successfully completed French language classes in high school, enroll in French language courses at UCI according to their years of previous study. In general, one year of high school French will be considered equal to one quarter of a UCI language course. Thus, for example, students with two years of high school French will enroll in 1C, while students who have completed three years in high school will enroll in 2A. Students wanting a more precise assessment of their abilities may take a French placement test that is available through the Academic Testing Office. THE EXAM IS NOT OBLIGATORY. Students may then enroll in French at UCI either based on the high school formula indicated above or based on the results of the placement exam. For further information about the French placement test, contact the Testing Center at www.testingcenter.uci.edu or at (949) 824-6207.

Exceptions to the above-stated enrollment formula must have the written approval of the French Department Language Program Director.

Students with credit for previous college-level courses in French, should check with their academic counselor to determine the appropriate course to enroll in at UCI.

A student with a score of "3" on either French Advanced Placement exam may enroll directly into French 2A. A student with a score of "4" or "5" on either French Advanced Placement exam is eligible to enroll directly into French 100A; however, full credit will be awarded for French 2C if the student wants to take French 2C first for review.
