It is the student's responsibility, however, to obtain this training. All students with an initial registration in the BASc or BSE programs must satisfy the English Language Proficiency Requirement by the end of their 2A academic term or, if admission to the program occurs after the 2A term, before the end of their first academic term in their program. A list of approved courses is provided below. Students who have not satisfied the English Language Proficiency Requirement by the end of the appropriate term as specified in item one above will have their Academic Decision Deferred for that term. Continuation in the program is then contingent upon first satisfying this requirement.
Offerings Lists to verify terms of offering for the above courses.
Satisfaction of the English Language Proficiency Requirement will be displayed on the student's transcript when the student completes the requirement by passing the ELPE examination, or successfully fulfilling the requirements of the Writing Clinic. Note Students who arrange a special sitting of the ELPE outside the scheduled dates will be assessed an administrative charge. Please note that none of the undergraduate programs in Engineering can be completed on a part-time basis at University of Waterloo.
