Completed the test, what’s next?
Thank you for submitting your completed French Language Placement Test. Due to the volume of emails we are currently experiencing, it may take 2 to 3 business days to respond to your request. Please do not send multiple emails as this will delay the response process.
You will be informed of your result immediately in the test feedback. Students in categories A and B will obtain permission to enroll in the appropriate course. Students in category C will be invited for a consultation with the UPD to determine course placement. A permission will be mounted on your student account by department staff within three business days of completing your test. Please allow these three business days to pass before contacting the department. If you are still unable to enroll at that time contact the email listed below.
