Laurentian University’s senate has approved a motion to accept the DELF B2 French language diploma for admission to its French-language programs. The university notes that the change from C1 to B2 puts the university in line with other French-language offerings in Ontario and will allow more French immersion students to apply directly to the university’s French-language programs. “By formally recognizing the DELF B2 for admission, we are removing a major barrier to access,” explained Laurentian Associate VP, Francophone Affairs Natalie Poulin-Lehoux. “We are sending a clear and strong message to these bilingual youth that they are fully qualified, welcomed, and supported to succeed in their postsecondary studies in French at Laurentian University.”
