The minimum number of years required to waive English proficiency requirements is three years of full-time, successful studies in an English-instructional education system, with acceptable grades in English and other humanities/social science courses from the senior high school year. If you qualify, you may ask the university to exempt you from the English-language proficiency requirements. A 4U English is required.
The Laurier English and Academic Foundation (LEAF) is geared towards students who are academically qualified for admission, but do not meet Laurier's English proficiency requirements. Upon successfully completing the program, you will receive a conditional offer to Laurier and will not be required to present TOEFL or IELTS scores. The program runs in 10-week cycles from Laurier's Brantford campus.
For more information about the LEAF program, visit the LEAF website.
A minimum of six 4U/M (U/C) courses are required for admission. We will use the top six grades from these courses when calculating the admission average, unless otherwise noted.
4U English must be at a minimum of 60% for all programs unless otherwise specified. You must also meet program-specific requirements. All required courses must be at a minimum of 60% unless otherwise specified.
If you repeat a course, the highest grade will be used in calculating your average with no penalty. Courses taken at night school/summer school are considered equivalent to regular daytime courses.
We will begin to send out offers of admission to the highest qualified applicants beginning in January and continuing through May. Early conditional offers of admission are subject to attaining specific prerequisite course requirement(s), completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements and meeting a specific minimum final average. The admission average is based on the best six 4U/M courses (or equivalent).
For information and updates, visit the Ontario High School Applicants university admissions page.
We can issue only one offer of admission per student. Please list your program choice(s) in order of preference. You will be sent information in January/February about how to submit additional information to support your application for admission.
Normally, if you do not receive an offer of admission to the program you applied to, you will automatically be considered for admission to an alternative program, if space permits. See more about our Alternate Offers of Admission on our website.
Residence applications are completed online. You will receive details and deadlines in Laurier's New Student Welcome Book that will be mailed to you with your offer of admission. Residence is guaranteed to first-year high school students whose application form and deposit are received by the posted deadline.
