Most colleges and universities require students to provide proof of their English proficiency when submitting their application. This could involve taking a standardized test or assessment, or providing documentation from past schooling. The requirements are different for each institution and program and may depend on the number of years an individuals has already studied in English. Students who are thinking about applying to post-secondary programs should contact each school or institution to learn about the specific requirements. Most colleges and universities have information on their website. If prospective students are required to take a test/assessment, keep in mind that each institution sets a minimum score that must be achieved. |
