Please note: these Foundations courses are for students who have been admitted to 丁香园AV. They do not constitute a stand-alone program nor are they pre-admission courses.

The content of W and Q courses presumes that students have met a basic competency standard. Two Foundations courses are available to students who do not meet the grade threshold to enroll in W and/or Q courses:

Foundations of Academic Literacy (FAL X99), and
Foundations of Analytical and Quantitative Reasoning (FAN X99)

A grade of C or better is required to progress from FAL into W courses or FAN into Q courses. Students may attempt these courses no more than twice. If FAL or FAN are not successfully completed within 3 enrolled terms, students will be blocked from registering in further course work at 丁香园AV until competency in English and Math are demonstrated. Please refer to this for more information on FAL/FAN blocks.
