French
Offered at Langley, Richmond, and Surrey
Students who have completed French 11 will not receive credit at UBC for Kwantlen FREN 1100 or FREN 1101. Students who have completed French 12 and passed with a C or better will not receive credit at UBC for any Kwantlen French courses below FREN 1110.
Kwantlen University College offers various levels of French courses. Since not all courses are offered in every semester or on every campus, language students are strongly advised to seek counseling from members of the Modern Languages department before planning their program.
Admission Requirements
Since students come to Kwantlen from many different backgrounds, it is often difficult to determine the best level of entry for any individual. A letter grade from school is not in itself sufficient indication of a student's suitability for a particular course, particularly when there may have been a gap of a year or more in his or her studies. We therefore have standardized placement tests, which, together with a short interview, are intended to ensure placement at the right level, thus avoiding frustration.
Students with a competence in the language beyond the level of the course in which they are registered will be required to withdraw. Students who are not sure of their language level should contact an instructor.
For assessment or placement test information, please call the following telephone number followed by the appropriate voice mail number. Since FREN 1100 is an introductory language course, there is no need for an assessment.
