*Class Placement

It is recommended that students take classes (Fall through Spring) sequentially at all levels to fully benefit from the classes. This is required for absolute beginners who must register for Fall Session Absolute Beginner as their first class.

Students with French background, substantial experience or former French instruction may choose to begin a class mid-year. For example, such a student may choose to begin the Refresher course at any one of the fall through summer sessions. Advanced students may also choose to take Advanced Literature or Advanced Conversation at any point in the year. Students are encouraged to contact Pauline Guimond Grant, French Classes Coordinator, at cpgrant@comcast.net or (603) 623-1093 for help in choosing the appropriate class level.

Tuition must be paid in full prior to the first class. Withdrawals from classes must be made in writing to the Franco-American Centre. Notification to a teacher is not an acceptable withdrawal. Refunds are issued as follows: A full refund is issued if withdrawal takes place one week prior to the start of the first class. A 50% refund will be issued after the first class. There are no refunds after the second class.
