REGISTRATION INFORMATION

APPROVAL OF COURSES FOR REGISTRATION

In registering in the Faculty each year, students must consult with their academic advisors and/or the Head of Department in selecting their courses. They must also seek the approval of the Dean for the Major selected and for the number and combination of courses therein.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

All students registered in the Faculty of Humanities and Education who do not have at least CXC General Grade II before 1998 or Grade III after 1998 or its equivalent in a foreign language are required to complete three credits in an appropriate foreign language course

DIAGNOSTIC TEST IN FRENCH AND SPANISH FOR NEW STUDENTS

The Department of Language, Linguistics and Literatures requires all students proposing to do a Level I course in either French or Spanish (except for Basic or Beginners' Courses) to take a language test on entry. Students whose language competence is below the required standard, but who have an A' Level pass in the relevant foreign language may be advised but will not be required to transfer to an alternative major; those who have only an O' Level or CXC pass in the relevant subject may be refused entry to the course and required to register in an alternative major.

CHANGES IN REGISTRATION

Students may be permitted to change courses each academic year up to the end of the third week of semester I and the end of the first week of semester II at the discretion of the Dean. Changes in registration will not be permitted after the deadline date. In 2007-2008 the deadline for changes in registration is September 14, 2007.

CREDITS AND EXEMPTIONS

Students transferring into Level I from another Faculty, or who have undertaken relevant studies at another tertiary institution, may request credits or exemptions from courses which are similar in content to those which they have successfully completed elsewhere. Such students should write a letter to the Dean requesting the appropriate credits/exemptions and giving specific information on the course followed, including the name of the course, the period of study, and the level and grade obtained. All exemptions must be approved by Academic Board. Students may be provisionally registered pending approval of their request.
