A student who obtains a grade of C (55%) or more in a given course is considered to have passed the course. Nevertheless, according to internal program regulations, a student must obtain a grade of B- (65%) or more to be permitted to register for the next level. Attendance of 80% of all lectures is required in order to proceed from one course level to the next.

A maximum of two unsatisfactory grades per course/level is permitted in a Certificate of Proficiency program. A student who cannot pass to a higher level after two attempts must have the permission of the relevant program coordinator in order to have permission to remain in the program. Overall, a maximum of three unsatisfactory grades is permitted in any of the Certificate of Proficiency programs.

It is the student's responsibility to meet the program prerequisites. Students who fail to meet these requirements will be denied permission to continue in the course in which they have registered. The French Language Programs have some internal rules which students must respect. Students are expected to speak French in the classroom and on the school premises, with the exception of the first weeks in Beginners' level.

Active participation is required in class.
