Between their first registration at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the time of their graduation, all students completing the Honours program in French must have spent at least two semesters at an approved Francophone institution in a French-speaking area or have acquired equivalent work experience in a Francophone environment. Students are strongly encouraged to fulfill the requirement early in their program in order to get the greatest benefit from the immersion experience. Students should consult the Head of the Department before the end of their second year of study (60 credit hours) for help in selecting the immersion experience most appropriate for their circumstances. Every reasonable effort will be made by the Department to accommodate students who, for personal or professional reasons, need to fulfill the immersion requirement in a different setting. Please note that accommodation cannot include waivers or exemptions from the immersion requirement as completion of the immersion requirement is an academic requirement for all students completing an Honours Degree in French. Students with extenuating circumstances should consult with the Head of the Department for alternative options.

No more than 24 transfer credit hours may be used to fulfill the minimum requirements of the Honours program in French as outlined under Transfer Credit for French Courses.

One of Classics 1120 or Language 2800 or Linguistics 2800 may be substituted for 3 non-specified credit hours in French at the second-year level.

Classics 1120 or Language 2800 or Linguistics 2800 may be substituted for 3 non-specified credit hours in French at the second-year level.

15.13.2.6 Transfer Credit for French Courses
Students who successfully complete French language programs offered by recognized universities and colleges in Canada and elsewhere may apply to have their courses evaluated for equivalent Memorial University of Newfoundland credit. To do so, they must follow such procedures as may be specified by the Office of the Registrar; they may also be required to sit a placement test administered by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures. The result achieved on this placement test will influence any determination of the number and level of transfer credits to be awarded.
