Students registering for courses offered by the French Language Centre, please also refer to University Regulations and Resources > Summer > Student Types and Registration Procedures > Course Information and Regulations.

French as a Second Language

All French as a Second Language courses given at the French Language Centre have limited enrolment and mandatory placement tests for all students (including Beginners). Students who have already taken a course at the French Language Centre do not need to take the placement test and should contact: flc [at] mcgill.ca to get a permit to register.

Class attendance is mandatory for all our courses.

Placement Tests

Please check our website: www.mcgill.ca/flc for dates. At the placement test, students receive a permit so that they can register on Minerva. All students should bring to their placement test a photocopy of all transcripts showing previous French language courses. Credits will not be given to a student who has taken and passed equivalent courses at a CEGEP or another university.

Students must bring a headset or earbuds, the kind used with iPods, MP3 players, etc.

Visiting and Special Students

If you are not available for testing on the above dates, you should obtain a Pre-Placement Test from the French Language Centre by emailing flc [at] mcgill.ca.
