1 Purpose
To establish the University's English Language Proficiency requirements for entry into its Award and Non-Award Programs.
2 Scope
This schedule must be read in conjunction with the Program Accreditation Procedure and is subordinate to it.
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 Dean (Academic), 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.
Prospective Students who do not meet any requirements listed in this schedule may be able to acquire the necessary proficiency through the University's open access programs. This option will require completion of either the communications or the English Language Proficiency placement tests provided by the UniSQ College.

This test can be taken from any online location and the results will provide an indication of the most appropriate commencement level in the ELICOS, EAP or ACS programs. Upon arrival at the University, Applicants will be required to undertake a further test to confirm the online test result.
Approved foundation pathway articulation from other institutions' English preparation/foundation programs is subject to regular review and possible change. Therefore, potential Applicants seeking to address English Language Proficiency requirements via this means should check directly with the University as to acceptability.
