Language Placement information see 4.59 Placement in Language Courses.
Course outcomes for German have been aligned with the descriptions found in the internationally recognized Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) . These CEFR designations facilitate transfer between institutions, both within Canada and abroad, and provide better evidence of language proficiency for employment purposes. The correlations with the CEFR given for each language course provide an orientation, but do not confer accreditation for a particular level. However, if they choose, students will be able to take an internationally recognized exam through the Language Research Centre as accreditation for the proficiency level they have achieved.
