DIPLÔME DE FRANÇAIS PRATIQUE
Admission
Any student who has graduated with a 3 or 4 year undergraduate degree may apply for admission, subject to prerequisites and general university admission requirement. A student may not pursue both the Diplôme de français pratique and a French module. All the French courses of the Diploma program may be credited toward other undergraduate programs.

The normal prerequisite to enter the Diploma program is Grade 12U French or practical equivalent. A placement test will be required. Applicants lacking Grade 12U French or practical equivalent may take the normal French Studies Department prerequisite courses (French 1002 and/or French 1010) to qualify, prior to admission to the Diploma program. Contact the Faculty of Arts and Humanities Academic Counselling Office to apply.

Progression and Graduation Requirements
The core language courses must be taken in sequence. To progress in and to complete the Diploma program, students must achieve and maintain a minimum average of 60% in the 5.0 required courses.

Since the Diploma program is regarded as a coherent unit of study, students will be required to take at least 1.0 of the core language courses in a Fall/Winter session and are strongly advised to take at least 1.0 option concurrently with French 2101 or 2103. Students must receive counseling from the Department on their choice of options and should seek regular advice on the availability of courses.

Program
The required courses are French 1900E or 1910, 2101, 2102A/B, 2103, 2104A/B and 1.0 course from French 2100A/B, 2120E, other French courses numbered 2000 or higher (excluding 2900 and 3900). At least 3.0 of the 5.0 credit courses must be taken at Western.
