Students may be required to do some upgrading in the English language prior to beginning their academic study. Students are given an extensive English language assessment test when they arrive. Based on this assessment, students will be placed within the 5 Level English As a Second Language (CESL) Program. Students admitted into an Academic, Career or Vocational program, who score well on the test, will be recommended for direct entry into their program of study.
At the more advanced levels of the CESL program, students may begin academic work in combination with their English courses. In normal circumstances, all second language training should be completed prior to undertaking full-time post-secondary study.
CESL Level 5 courses (CESL 053, CESL 054 & CESL 057) are pre-requisite courses for first year university English courses. Students at this level may be eligible to take up to three academic courses in addition to their ESL courses.
