Notes:

1. Students with ability in the French language above the OAC level (e.g., bilingual, francophone or French immersion students) should consult the department concerning advanced placement in courses. Such advanced placement may depend upon the results of a test administered before the beginning of a term.
2. Students who intend to go into high school teaching are advised to take FR350, FR360 and FR450.

German Language
Students with OAC German must replace the 100-level courses with 1.0 senior credit in German.

Spanish Language

1. Students with OAC Spanish must replace SP100*, or both SP101 and SP102 with a senior credit in Spanish.
2. By agreement, students at WLU and U of W can be expected to take courses in Spanish at either university. While most language courses are taught concurrently every year at both universities, most other courses are taught either at one university or the other, and a few courses may rotate from year to year. Consult the undergraduate officer in Spanish. Before graduation, students must complete the requirements of their home university and faculty.
