The Language Proficiency Index (LPI) can be used to diagnose a student's level of writing skills. The results provide an indication of the type and level of English course best suited to the individual's need. LPI result slips should be presented during registration. Students in doubt as to interpretation of results and course placement should consult the Chairperson of English and Modern Languages or an academic Advisor.
For information about testing dates and locations, please refer to the LPI dates in this calendar or contact the Assessment Centre, Old Main 1762 @ (250) 828-5470.
These regulations apply to students transferring to UCC from other post-secondary institutions, unless they possess the equivalent of two semesters of first-year English.
