Language Proficiency Requirements

Applicants to an undergraduate program at York may meet our English-language requirements if they have successfully completed, or are in the process of successfully completing, one of the following:

• Four full years of study in Canada in English or French at the secondary school level.
• Four full years of study at the secondary school level in English in a country where English is a primary language.
• One full year of study in an accredited university degree program in English, in a country where English is a primary language.
• Two full years of study in an accredited college diploma program in English in a country where English is a primary language.

Note: Time spent in ESL courses will not be counted towards meeting these requirements. Language requirements will not be waived based on letters written by students or as a result of completing senior-level high school English course(s).

These are general guidelines only. York University reserves the right to require a successfully completed language proficiency test.

If applicants are unsure as to whether they meet York's language requirements, they should submit an acceptable English-language test score as soon as possible to avoid potential delays in the processing of their application for admission.

Language test scores are reviewed in combination with academic credentials to determine admissibility to the University.

Applicants to the Glendon Campus

Since Glendon is a bilingual (French/English) campus, applicants may choose to provide proof of language proficiency in either English or French. They may choose to write one of the acceptable tests of English noted below, or the French Language Admissions Test administered by the Glendon Liaison Office (416-487-6710, liaison@glendon.yorku.ca.)

Language Test Exemption for Students who Complete Courses at the York University English Language Institute (YUELI)

YUELI offers a range of non-credit, full-time and part-time English-language training courses that prepare students for university study.

Completion of the YUELI Intensive Program Level 6 with Distinction, Honours or Pass satisfies York's English Language Proficiency requirements for admission to most of York's undergraduate programs. Engineering and the Schulich School of Business programs require Distinction.
