German
Offered at Surrey, Richmond, and Langley
Since not all courses are offered in every semester or on every campus, German language students are strongly advised to seek counselling from the German instructor before planning their program.
Note: Native speakers of German who wish to take a first or second-year German course must consult with the German instructor first. Students with a German 'Abitur' are not permitted to enroll in the courses. 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 email beatrice.pires@kwanlten.ca or contact 604.599.2222 (voice mail local: 9230).
