Students who successfully complete French language immersion 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 French and Spanish. The result achieved on this placement test will influence any determination of the number and level of transfer credits to be awarded.
Students intending to participate in the Summer Language Bursary Program or the Student Fellowship Programs are particularly advised to consult the Head of the Department of French and Spanish before leaving Memorial University of Newfoundland. All students intending to request transfer of credit are strongly advised to obtain a Letter of Permission from the Office of the Registrar before registering for any course of study offered by another institution.

-
In any event, no more than 9 transfer credit hours in French at the first-year level, and 18 at the second-year level, may be granted to any student.

The Department of French and Spanish offers to students the opportunity to sit a Special Examination of Linguistic Competence in French and a Special Examination of Linguistic Excellence in French. These written and oral examinations, held each year during the Winter semester, are intended to permit public recognition of superior proficiency in the French language by means of an entry on students' academic records. Any student registered in a Memorial University of Newfoundland degree program may sit the annual examinations, but successful results will become final only on graduation from a degree program. The standard of attainment required to pass the Special Examination of Linguistic Competence in French will be approximately equivalent to that of a high 'B' in French 4100 or 4101; that for the Special Examination of Linguistic Excellence in French is equivalent to high standing at a more advanced level.
Students registered for French 1500, 1501, and 1502 whose overall final mark is less than 50% but no lower than 45F may write a supplementary examination subject to the following regulations:
-
Students will be admissible to the supplementary examination only if the average of all other components of the final mark is at least 50%.
-
The supplementary examination will normally be identical to the deferred examination, if any, administered in the same course for that semester and will in any case be written at the time of administration of deferred examinations and will be similar in content and level of difficulty to the final examination originally written.
-
Students who are eligible to sit the supplementary examination must apply to the department within one week following the release of final grades by the Office of the Registrar.
-
Students who pass the supplementary examination will receive a new final grade calculated according to the same method and weighting as the original, but with the mark on the supplementary examination replacing that given for the original written final examination. This new final grade, if higher than the original, will replace the original grade on the student's transcript, subject to the condition that the final mark will not exceed the student's pro-rated term mark. The student's transcript will indicate that the course result was earned as the result of a supplementary examination.
-
A student may write a supplementary examination for any one registration in a course only once; if the course result following the supplementary examination is a fail then the course must be repeated in order to obtain credit.
-
Students taking these courses through the College of the North Atlantic who successfully pass a supplementary examination will receive Memorial University of Newfoundland credit for the course.
The Frecker Program is a one-semester immersion program offered by Memorial University of Newfoundland in St-Pierre. Students who successfully complete this program will receive 15 credit hours in French as specified in Note 3. below. All students will board with French families and will participate in extra-curricular activities designed to take full advantage of the French milieu.
Notes:
-
The minimum prerequisites for admission to the program are successful completion of French 1502 and permission of the Head of the Department following written application. Admission to the program will be on a competitive basis and will depend on marks obtained in French courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland and on instructors' recommendations.
-
The cost of room and board is partially subsidized by the Federal Government Bursary Program in the case of residents of Newfoundland and Labrador. (A limited number of non-bursary students may be admitted to the program.)
-
Students who are admitted to this program will register for French 2100, 2101, 2300, 2900, and 2601 or 2602.
Memorial University of Newfoundland is a member of a consortium of Canadian universities which offer the Canadian Third Year in Nice Program. This program enables students to spend a full academic year studying at the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis in the South of France. Canadian students participating in this program are accompanied by a faculty member from one of the Canadian universities participating in the program. This person teaches two of the five courses which students complete each semester in Nice, the other three being chosen from the offerings of the Université de Nice. Specific Memorial University of Newfoundland credits are awarded for successful completion of the courses taught by the Canadian coordinator and a block of unspecified transfer credits are awarded for the courses offered by the Université de Nice.
All courses completed under this program will be offered outside the normal time frame for courses offered at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Fall Semester courses will be completed between October and January each year, Winter Semester courses between February and May. This is the time frame of Sessions I and II at the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis.

For information about any of these inactive courses, please contact the Head of the Department.
French courses are designated by FREN.
Notes:
-
The Department of French and Spanish offers three consecutive credit courses in French language at the first-year university level, offering a complete overview of basic oral and written French. New students may choose to register initially in FREN 1500 or 1501; a diagnostic test is offered to assist students with initial course selection or to confirm that initial course selection is appropriate. Students with a limited background in French should register for FREN 1500 and continue with 1501. Students with a strong background in high-school French should bypass 1500 and begin their university study with 1501, especially if they intend to proceed beyond the first-year level. Very well-prepared students may apply to the Department for permission to enter 1502 directly. Bypassing one or more of these courses may enable students to include a larger number of advanced electives in their degree program. FREN 1500, 1501 and 1502 require three hours of instruction per week and two additional hours of language laboratory work or conversation class, or both.
-
Students may not register concurrently for more than one of FREN 1500, 1501 and 1502 except with the permission of the Head of the Department.
-
FREN 2159 and 2160 are courses designed for former French immersion students as well as others with exceptional backgrounds in French, and are intended as an alternative to the 1500, 1501, 1502, 2100, 2101 sequence.
-
Students who have successfully completed one or more credit courses in French language will not subsequently be permitted to receive credit for courses not previously completed and judged by the Department to be of a lower level than those already completed. Students returning to the study of French after an absence should consult the Department for current information on these restrictions before registering. Students who wish to return to a previously completed course to improve their standing may do so only with the permission of the Head of the Department.
-
Students wishing to enrol in courses at the 4000-level must have completed at least FREN 3100 or 3101 and such additional prerequisites as may be specified (see individual calendar entries for details).
