Placement tests: All language courses have limited enrollment and, as such, may require departmental approval (issued by the department offering the course). Consult the eCalendar and/or the Minerva Class Schedule for information about placement tests or departmental approval, if necessary. Placement tests for French and English Second Language courses and for English for Academic Purposes will be held during the week prior to the beginning of classes in September.

Courses with numbers ending in D1 and D2 are taught in two consecutive terms (usually fall and winter). Students must register for the same section of both the D1 and D2 components. No credit will be given unless both components (D1 and D2) are successfully completed in consecutive terms, e.g., fall 2021 and winter 2022.

No more than one 6-credit or 9-credit language at an introductory level should be taken during the Freshman Program year. Students with prior knowledge of a language may take higher-level courses with permission from the department.

A 6-credit intensive language course given in one term is permitted - this is equivalent to two courses both in the number of credits as well as the workload.

Note: Some of the courses listed below are not suitable for first term as they require university-level prerequisites. Click on the course titles below for further information about appropriate background before registering. Some Science courses require students to also register for a mandatory lab component. For courses with a lab component, students must register and pass both the lecture and lab components in order to obtain credits.

Special Registration Note: Since Science students (B.Sc. students, in U0) begin course registration after several other faculties, you will notice that registration in certain basic math and science courses are restricted for part of the summer. This is done to ensure that Science students have equal access to register for those courses. Rest assured that those courses will become available to you shortly after.
