The following steps should be completed before commencing your classes:

Step 1 - Complete Your Language Assessment(s)
In order to take a French, English or Spanish language course at Glendon, you must first complete the necessary Language Assessment(s) to determine whether the French/English/Spanish course(s) you wish to take suit you best.   If you wish to take a course taught in French/English, and the language of instruction is not your first language, you must complete a Language Assessment to confirm that your level of French/English proficiency will enable you to succeed in the course(s) you have selected.

Please request your assessment(s) from your advisor.  The assessments must be sent back by e-mail to dearadvisor@gl.yorku.ca or by fax at 416-487-6813. Once it (they) has (have) been assessed, we will send you your results by e-mail.                   

Step 2 - Fill out Your Advising Document
