Except where stated otherwise, literary texts are, at all levels, studied in the original language. Students registering in French courses are expected to have the appropriate academic background.

Studies in Quebec or Abroad

The Department of French Studies encourages students to spend 1 or 2 semesters in a French-speaking province or country or to pursue their studies in an immersion program at the university level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the University of Guelph degree requirements. Requests should be addressed well in advance of registration to the Chair of French Studies. A letter of permission is required (see the Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations). Students may also take advantage of federal-provincial programs such as the Second-Language Monitor program.

Year in Nice

A special year-long program in Nice, France, is offered to Guelph students at semester levels 5 and 6. All courses for which transfer credits have been arranged are credited at Guelph without the need for letters of permission; students pay only Guelph academic fees and are eligible for OSAP.
