Academic Plan
I have no issues with the program I have chosen to complete. I have managed to keep a good overall GPA and I am very interested in my program. Therefore, there is no need to change programs or move my current academic plan towards another direction or subject area. The course load is not an issue either, I am very organized and punctual therefore I can handle my current course load. My academic plan may only be affected by my decision to go abroad however I have created an academic plan with my undergraduate chairs which allows me to have confidence that I will fulfill my degree requirements without difficulty. I have also applied for an ILOP to ensure that I will receive these credits during my study abroad program. I have 18 units to complete for my degree in French Studies and 27 units to complete for my degree in Spanish Studies. Professor Monique Dufresne has given me permission to take a course in France called ¿¿French Language and Phonetics 4¿ which will transfer to Queen¿¿s as a required credit, known as FREN 320 at Queen¿¿s, towards my degree in French Studies. If I successfully complete the course and pass an interview following my return to Queen¿¿s University in September 2015, the credit will transfer to Queen¿¿s. While I am studying abroad, I will be taking four other courses as electives, which are all taught in French. These electives will enhance my degree in French Studies and improve my ability to complete future courses taught in French. My plan is as follows: This coming fall semester, September 2014 I will be taking 9 units in Spanish and 6 units in French. In France I will take 3 units of French and 12 units of electives. Upon my arrival to Queen¿¿s in September 2015, I will be completing my degree by taking all the required and optional courses that remain for my degree in French and Spanish studies. This will include 9 units in French and 18 units in Spanish leaving me with 3 units in my fourth year to take an elective or to take FREN 320 if I am unable to successfully complete the course in France.
