The French program encourages students to spend 1 or 2 semesters in a French-speaking province or country, or to pursue their studies in an immersion program at the university level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the University of Guelph degree requirements. Requests should be addressed well in advance of registration to the Director of the School of Languages and Literatures. A letter of permission is required (see the Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures). Students may also take advantage of federal-provincial programs such as the Second-Language Monitor program.

A special year-long program in Nice, France, is offered to Guelph students at semester levels 5 and 6. All courses for which transfer credits have been arranged are credited at Guelph without the need for letters of permission; students pay only Guelph academic fees and are eligible for OSAP. For further information see the Head of French Studies.
