Courses

When do courses start?

To find out when the courses start, please consult our calendar.

Is attendance in class mandatory?

Attendance is mandatory for all students. You must also participate in the activities organized by l'Ecole. Justification of any absences must be given to the administration.

How are we graded (for courses allowing students to obtain university credits)?

Since the courses are university level, you will have assignments, written papers and exams during the session. To complete your program you must have taken the final exam (and the post-test for the spring and summer programs). These two tests are administered on the last day of class. If you pass your courses, the registrar will send you a transcript indicating the number of university credits awarded for the successfully completed courses.

The grading system:

A+ = 4.3     A = 4      A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3     B = 3       B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3     C = 2      C- = 1.7
D+ = 1.3     D = 1

Should I buy any special materials before I arrive?

A dictionary as well as a book of verb conjugations are strongly recommended. You may buy these at the University's bookstore.

I need to borrow educational materials. Where should I go?

The library is located on the 2nd floor of the Albert-Tessier pavilion. A media library is available on the 2nd floor of the library and provides a wide selection of CD's for your own learning. You can borrow materials for 2 days. http://www.uqtr.ca/biblio
