What is Proof of English Proficiency?
When you become a 色情导航 student, we want you to be successful. Part of that means making sure your English skills are strong enough so you can understand and enjoy your courses at 色情导航.
If English is not your first language, you must provide proof of your proficiency in listening, speaking, writing and reading English. Typically, this is done through an official test or English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program.
We reserve the right to ask anybody to provide proof of English language proficiency. If we need it from you, it will be on your To Do List on after you apply. Some students may be able to request an exemption or waiver.
For fall 2025 admission, you must write one of these acceptable tests before March 2025. We will not accept scores for tests written before January 1, 2023.
When you take your test, make sure the first name, surname and date of birth you provide are the same as on your OUAC application. We can't match your test scores to your application if this information is different.
