The Department of Germanic, Slavic and East Asian Studies offers instruction with an intercultural focus in the fields of German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese as well as a course in Slavic.

Detailed information and advice is available on the Department website (http://gsea.ucalgary.ca/)

Students should choose a first half course at a level corresponding to their previous knowledge of the subject. Those with no previous instruction normally begin with German 202, Russian 201, Chinese 205 or Japanese 205. Those with German 30 or Russian 30 should enrol in German 221 or Russian 301 respectively. In cases of doubt the student should seek the advice of the Department and is generally encouraged to do so at all stages of the program of study.

Students who have prior knowledge of German, Russian, Chinese or Japanese as well as students with more than matriculation in these languages must consult the Department to be placed in a course corresponding to their ability. The Department can refuse permission to remain in a particular language course if the instructor deems that the student's knowledge exceeds the level of that course. Students are advised that misrepresenting their level of knowledge in the language of the course constitutes academic dishonesty and will be dealt with as such. Native speakers are not eligible to take language courses by special assessment or to receive advanced credit for them.

Enrolment in Chinese language courses involves a formal placement process. See details under Courses of Instruction, Chinese.

Students seeking credit by special assessment should consult the Department regarding courses available for credit in this manner.
