This page contains important information for applicants who received an offer of admission with an English proficiency condition.
You are required to submit evidence of your English proficiency to the Recruitment and Admissions office by the date listed on your offer letter. You should review your offer letter carefully to ensure you understand all conditions listed.
The following options satisfy your English proficiency condition:
Laurier’s undergraduate Recruitment and Admissions office is committed to assisting applicants whose ability to take an English language test has been impacted by the closures of English language testing centres due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). If applicants have any concerns about meeting deadlines pertaining to their application, they should contact chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
Submit a minimum score on an accepted English language test to Laurier's Recruitment and Admissions office.
Submit supporting evidence that you studied in an English-language school system for at least three years. The Admissions office will review your documents and evaluate if they satisfy your English proficiency condition. We may request additional supporting documents at our discretion, including English-language tests.
You can register for the Laurier English and Academic Foundation (LEAF) program, which is offered at Laurier's Brantford campus. The LEAF Program is an academic English program for future Laurier students.
Once you complete level 5 of the LEAF program, you have met Laurier's English language requirement and can begin studying in your academic program full time. You will begin in a LEAF program level according to your most recent English language test score.
Note: To begin your academic studies in September 2023, you will need to complete level 5 of the LEAF program in the summer term.
See the LEAF program website or email leaf@wlu.ca to learn more about the LEAF program.
