The Diploma of Basic Ecclesiastical Latin Language Proficiency is a ten-credit, five semester program, consisting in the completion of the first five courses of the Diploma in Ecclesiastical Latin program. Since each course builds on the proceeding ones, students are expected to take these courses in order, one course per semester.
Students must pass each course with a minimum cumulative grade (“final course grade”) of 90% (A-) to advance to a higher course. Students must also maintain at least 75% attendance or they will be failed for non-attendance.
