Proficiency in English

A student attending Wilfrid Laurier University must have sufficient facility in the use of the English language to understand and profit from instruction given in English. Students whose native tongue is not English are to submit to the Admissions Office, evidence acceptable to the University of their proficiency in English. Normally, this evidence is an acceptable score on one of the following: the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency (MELAB). A minimum score of 560 is required in the paper-based TOEFL; a minimum of 220 is required in the computer-based TOEFL; a minimum score of seven is required in IELTS; and a minimum score of 90 is required in the Michigan Test. These tests are offered in Canada, the United States and many other countries. Applicants must make their own arrangements to write the test by contacting:
