The language of instruction for most courses and programs at 鶹 is English. Students may submit any written work that is to be graded in English or French, except in cases where knowledge of the language is one of the objectives of the course.
Admission to undergraduate and graduate certificate programs at the School of Continuing Studies requires proficiency in English, except for certificates of proficiency, where knowledge of the language is the objective of the course and the Graduate Diploma in Legal Translation, where applicants must write an entrance examination to test their preparedness for studies in both English and French.
Applicants must demonstrate an adequate level of proficiency in English prior to admission, regardless of citizenship status or country of origin. 鶹 reserves the right to require proof of English proficiency if it is deemed necessary. Below you will find information about when proof of proficiency is required.
If you answer “yes” to any of the following seven questions, you do NOT necessarily need to provide proof of proficiency in English. However, you must provide documentation to the School to support your answer.
- Have you lived and attended school for at least four years in a country where English is the acknowledged primary language?
- Have you completed both Secondary V (Quebec High School transcript issued by the Ministère de l'Éducation) and a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at a French CEGEP in Quebec?
- Have you completed a DEC at an English CEGEP in Quebec, during or later than 2003?

- Have you completed the British Curriculum GCSE/IGCSE/GCE O-Level English, English Language, English First Language, or English as a Second Language with a final grade of ‘B’ or better?
If you answered “no” to all of the above, but answered “yes” to any of the following questions, you will be asked to provide supporting documentation. You may still be asked to provide proof of English language proficiency.
- Do you consider English to be your mother tongue?
- Have you been attending school for at least four consecutive years in a non-English speaking country at an accredited educational institution where English is the primary language of instruction?
- Have you obtained an undergraduate degree from an accredited educational institution where the language of instruction in your program of study was English (minimum three years)?

Applicants who do not meet any of the above-listed conditions must demonstrate proficiency in English.
