If you are enrolling in a UTM French course for the first time, you must complete the online French Placement Test, regardless of any prior experience with French, to determine your appropriate language level in French. You will be informed of which courses you are eligible to take upon completion of the test. Failure to complete the test may result in removal from your FSL/FRE course.
Before enrolling in a language course for the first time, please complete the relevant Language Course Assessment Questionnaire to determine your language level.
Prerequisites
Do not email the instructor of the course or the Department Chair.
The department sets the prerequisite requirements to ensure that the students enrolled possess the necessary background knowledge essential for the course.
If you don't have the prerequisite(s) for a course, you must submit a Prerequisite Waiver Request Form prior to the first week of classes, explaining how your prior academic experience has prepared you to take the course in the absence of the listed prerequisites.
If you are off-campus when accessing the Test of French website, you must login to the UTM VPN first.
Please login to the UTM VPN and then try again.
You must activate your UTORid before taking the test. A JOINid will not work.
You can also watch this video on how to activate your UTORid for more help.
Language Assessment/Placement results are not petitionable. Decisions are final.
Academic Advising
We're happy to assist you. Please visit the Contact Us page to book an appointment.
We encourage you to review our program plans.
You can also get detailed information from the UTM Career Centre's "Careers by Major".
The Career Centre also offers additional resources.
Blocked Enrolment
Enrolment may be blocked due to enrolment controls (check the "Enrolment Controls" for the course on Timetable Builder).
For example, priority may be given to students who require the course (e.g., LIN228H5) to fulfill program requirements (e.g., Linguistic Studies Major or Minor); non-program students can enroll in the course at a later date.
Departmental Approval
This means that department approval is required to enrol in the course.
For example, students enrolling in a UTM language course for the first time must complete a language assessment questionnaire in order to determine the appropriate language-level course they should enrol in. Once the language assessment questionnaire has been evaluated, students will either be approved or rejected for enrolment in the course.
