Hey First Years!
Are you thinking about taking French to fulfill your language requirement?? If yes, then listen up!!
Just a quick note from the French department: the French Placement Exam is now open and will be reviewed every few days. All students with previous experience in French need to take the exam—unless they earned a 5 on the AP or a 7 on the IB.
Only Elementary to Intermediate French courses are available for early registration. Those interested in upper-level courses will be able to register once regular registration begins in August.
Thanks, and best of luck to everyone taking the exam!
Warm regards,
The First-Year Team
