English Language Requirement
You may meet our English language requirements if you 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 or where English is the primary language of instruction;
- 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 or where English is the primary language of instruction.
Students who have completed, or are in the process of completing, the International Baccalaureate diploma may meet our English language requirements. Students must show achievement of the IB diploma once it’s been granted.
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).
The above requirements are general guidelines only. York University reserves the right to require a successfully completed language proficiency test. Please visit http://futurestudents.yorku.ca/requirements/language_tests for acceptable language test scores for each program.
