The Passeport Langues O'

*Please note, the capitalization of validated courses (possibility of using them later as part of a diploma course at Inalco) is only possible for people holding the baccalauréat or an equivalent diploma.
is valid for one academic year
gives access to the library and language laboratories
does not entitle the holder to student status
does not entitle the holder to social security coverage or the issue of a residence permit

No diploma requirement is required to enroll and follow courses accessible with the Passport. However, the Passport is not open to students enrolled in secondary school.

Registering for the Langues O' Passport means setting up a program based on your personal project, with no obligation to follow the diploma models. The passport allows you to enroll simultaneously in civilization courses covering a variety of geographical areas, or in training courses covering several languages; it also allows you to do only language, or only civilization in a given area (see the list of departments and sections).

The Passeport Langues O' is valid for one year only. Holders of a passport that expires at the end of the academic year may take out a new passport the following year.

Evaluation

Holding a Langues O' passport enables its holder to validate the courses taken, if he or she so wishes. As the Langues O' Passport does not lead to a degree, it is not eligible for the special study scheme, and no semester or annual compensation applies. Courses and ECTS validated at the end of the year are definitively validated at Inalco.

The Passeport Langues O' is available in 2 formulas:
