Which Greek language course should I take?

Students with no background in the language may enroll themselves into the relevant introductory course.

Students who have some background in Greek should contact the course instructor for a placement interview if they are enrolling in a Greek course for the first time.

Students who have transferred from a college or a university and took Greek in their prior institution should take the next level course.

* We reserve the right to move students to more proficiency-appropriate courses or to unenroll students when there is no appropriate course for them.

Placement interviews 

Students who are unsure about their level or background in Greek should contact contact the undergraduate advisor (wlladv@sfu.ca) to arrange a placement interview.

Students are expected to provide true information about their language background and language learning experiences to the best of their knowledge. Concealing your knowledge of the language and/or providing false information are considered academic dishonesty and can be recorded on the your academic record.
