💡Expert's Take
SL French B is awarded credit at Memorial. A minimum grade of 4 yields French 1500 + French 1501; Memorial's Calendar designates these courses as FREN. HL of the same subject lands one course higher at FREN 1501 + 1502.
The mapping is natural for French B: FREN 1500 and 1501 are language-acquisition courses, the same track IB French B is built around. The chart's award is automatic and not adjustable upward by score; what is adjustable is which course you register for next. If you feel prepared for higher than the next-in-sequence FREN 1502, the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures can advise on placement before registration.
What to watch for:
- Transfer credit posts without a Memorial grade, but FREN 1502's prerequisite is "FREN 1501 with a grade of at least 60%, or successful completion of French immersion, or by permission of the Head of the Department." Continuing directly into 1502 can therefore require a departmental override.
Confirm placement and any 1502 override with languages@mun.ca before registration. Memorial's French program rules also cap how far this credit goes inside the major or minor: no more than 6 credit hours at the 1000 level may count toward the Minor, Major, or Honours, and program-level transfer-credit caps apply (6 toward the Minor, 12 toward the Major, 24 toward Honours), with a faculty-wide ceiling of 9 first-year and 18 second-year French transfer hours. For evaluation status or transcript questions, contact transfer.credit@mun.ca.
