English Language Proficiency
All applicants must demonstrate English Language Proficiency, which will enable them to succeed in their university studies. Proficiency must be demonstrated regardless of citizenship or country of origin.
Applicants with three years of formal, full-time studies in English at the secondary or post-secondary level in any of the below countries meet English Language Proficiency requirements automatically. If an applicant from one of the below countries cannot provide transcripts demonstrating three years of full-time studies in the country, they must instead submit results from one of the Standardized Exams listed below to meet the English Proficiency requirement for admission.
Applicants who do not meet the above English Language Proficiency Requirements
Applicants who do not meet King's usual English Language Proficiency requirements may take King's English Language Assessment Test (ELAT) provided:
- You already live in Edmonton
- You are a mature applicant (over the age of 21) or
- You are a high school applicant who attended home school
Please note there is a $25 fee to write the ELAT and it must be scheduled in advance. Applicants must have already submitted an application before they are eligible to write the ELAT. Contact admissions@kingsu.ca for more information.
