The dates of the 1999-2000 academic year at UPX have not been announced. The Spring 2000 Semester at UPX begins on February 21. Examinations will be held from the 29 th of May onward. It may be possible for WCL students to arrange to take their exams out of the regular cycle. This will be a time for WCL participants to receive intensive language instruction and an introduction to the French legal system and law study in France, as well as a chance to settle into housing and get acquainted with the Nanterre campus and administration.
Opportunities also exist for further language study during the course of the academic semester.
Grades and Academic Credit Acceptance of credit is subject to a determination by WCL that the course in question satisfies academic standards. The WCL Program Director reviews the proposed schedule of each student to assure the creditworthiness of their selections. Each professor announces the basis on which course grades will be awarded at the beginning of the semester. In grading WCL program participants in courses taught in French, instructors take into account the fact that these students' language facility may be less than that of their French classmates.
