5. Students who fail the Proficiency Test twice during the course will be entitled to an Instrumental Course in the chosen language, in which they did not pass (the cost will be determined by the Mackenzie Language Center - MLC).

This will validate proficiency in the language in which the student previously failed standard exams.
