P茅dagogie de l'Immersion Fran莽aise (PIF) Freshman Year (U0)

Students from outside of Quebec may be required to complete the Freshman en fran莽ais year (offered through the French Language Centre, Faculty of Arts). Students undertaking the Freshman en fran莽ais year may also be conditionally accepted into the PIF program, if they have a strong background in French (ex. Grade 12 French Immersion Program) and achieve an acceptable grade in the FLPT.
Those students who are conditionally accepted will be transferred to the PIF program following successful completion of their freshman year (passing grade in level appropriate FRSL courses). Unsuccessful candidates will remain registered in the regular B.Ed. Kindergarten/Elementary stream.

Students should contact advisedise.education [at] mcgill.ca to indicate their desire to transfer into this major and will need to provide proof of French Language Competency, as outlined above for the transfer to be accepted/processed.
