Application Process

Before You Apply

Is English right for me?

There are two types of second language learners who can apply to be placed in English programs:

  1. Students who are interested in exclusively applying for a Language Institute program -  English language studies ONLY.
  2. Students who are interested in applying for a Laurentian degree program but do not yet meet the language requirements. (Will complete English language studies prior to transitioning into academic degree studies.)
