This schedule should also be read in conjunction with the Admissions Procedure and the Standard Admissions Statements Schedule.
3 Schedule
All Award and Non-Award Programs will be assigned to an English Language Proficiency Category that specifies, through this schedule, how the program's English Language Proficiency entry requirements must be addressed.
Any Decision to accept alternate means of satisfying the English Language Proficiency requirements, that is outside of that specified in this schedule, requires the approval of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs), for Coursework Programs or the Dean (Graduate Research School), or nominee, for Research programs. It will be only based on demonstrated equivalence to the applicable standards as specified in this section.
