• Before applying to CUPA, students must make sure that the program has been approved by their college or university and be familiar with the policies of their school as to credit transfer.
These matters are the sole responsibility of each student.
Students should be undergraduates in good standing at an American college or university, and maintain at least a 3.0 grade average.
• They must have a good command of both written and oral French and have successfully completed at least one advanced college-level French course with a grade of B+ or above. Exceptions to these requirements may be granted in special circumstances and upon early request.
• Students should carefully consider the challenges involved in taking direct matriculation courses, and be ready to undertake such an adventure.
• Students are strongly encouraged to study French during the semester prior to the anticipated semester or year abroad.
