Currently Registered Students - TESL

Yes, the provincial governement requires that all students in teacher education programs demonstrate their proficiency in the language of instruction.  More information can be found on the Internships & Student Affairs website.

For EDSL 215, depending on your level of French you may not need to take this course and can take a Complementary Academics course instead (this is the meaning of the note).  There are two ways to be exempted from EDSL 215:

• If you attended a French Secondary School or CEGEP (not French immersion)
• If you take the French Language Centre placement test and are placed in FRSL 321 or higher.

If you did not attend a French Secondary School or CEGEP, you should take the FLC placement test (instructions can be found on their website) and determine whether or not you need to take EDSL 215. If you are exempt from EDSL 215, you will need to take an additional complementary academics course in its place.

Registration in Fall/Winter courses for returning students begins in late March or early April and ends a couple weeks after classes in the semester begin.  A complete list of registration start and end dates can be found here.

If you are getting an error such as 'program restriction' or 'reserve closed' when attempting to register for a course, first ensure that you are selecting the section designated for your program (see the notes under the course in class schedule search on Minerva).  If you are still having trouble, contact the department offering the course (Educational and Counselling Psychology for EDPE and EDPI courses, Linguistics for LING courses, English for ENGL courses, etc.).  The calendar entry for the course will indicate the offering department.

Information about French courses and the French Placement Test can be found on the French Language Centre website.
