Undergraduate Advising

The French placement test helps advisors determine your skill level in French and the appropriate course level for you. You are required to take the placement test to receive credit if you have two years or more of High School French or two semesters of college-level French.

Please contact the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., Professor Ana Pairet, if for any reason you have trouble registering for any course you wish or need to take, placement at French 132 and above, majoring or minoring in French, course evaluations, or related undergraduate matters.  Professor Pairet holds office hours on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 3:30 PM in ABW-4185. Appointments are also available in person or on Zoom by arrangement.

Our undergraduate advisors can help you identify the course offerings that best meet your learning needs. We will be happy to help you plan your major or minor (kindly schedule an advising appointment at your convenience). In the three weeks leading up to course registration in the Fall and Spring, we provide special advising hours to help you plan your major, minor or certificate of proficiency.
