the guidelines below. En Principe, Division D refers to students who when they take the Concours are still enrolled in French; E is designed for students French courses. However, if the student has a more extensive French background and meets the criteria for Division C, the student must be enrolled in Division C, regardless of school schedule and current enrollment. Division D is for students who began their study of French at a given level (01 - 5) at the beginning of the fall semester but, at Contest time, are studying at the next level. If, however, the student will complete the next level by the end of the current academic year, he/she will take Concours at that level, but not in division D. Example 1: A student is enrolled in French 2 in September, 2015. Because the school is on block scheduling, the course will be completed by December or January. At Contest time, normally in March, the student will be enrolled in French 3, which will not be completed until the fall 2016 semester has ended. This student shall be enrolled at level 2D. Rationale: The student has completed French 2, but has not had enough experience in French 3 to achieve a good result. Students in Division D must earn a score equal to or better than students in Division A to earn the same rank. Example 2: A non-native speaking student begins French 3 in January 2016, and will complete French 3 at the end of the current semester. This student shall be enrolled at Level 3A. Rationale: The student on this type of schedule will have had a similar amount of instruction time compared to a student with a traditional school schedule at Contest time. Division E is for students who 1) began their study of French at a given level (01-5) at the beginning of the fall semester but, at Contest time, are not enrolled in French; or 2) who began their French course only in the second
