Learn English at Laurier
The LEAF program is an academic English program for future Laurier students, designed to prepare them for success in university. To complete the LEAF program, students must also complete an academic course for credit. The LEAF program has 5 levels, and students begin at the level that most closely aligns with their English proficiency.
Students who are academically admissible to the university and eligible for LEAF program levels 3, 4 or 5 will receive a conditional offer of admission to an academic program with a condition to attend the LEAF program. Upon successful completion of LEAF Level 5, students may progress into full-time undergraduate studies. Contact [email protected] or visit the LEAF website for more information.
Laurier English & Academic Foundation Program
There are two 14-week terms (fall and winter) and two 8-week intensive summer terms in each calendar year. The 14-week terms are the same length as our fall and winter undergraduate terms, allowing LEAF students to interact with both domestic and international students during the busiest times of the year.
In Level 5 of the LEAF program, you will be required to complete a course for credit. This will help you get a head start towards completing your degree while you complete your LEAF program requirements. To complete the LEAF program successfully, students need to achieve a minimum grade of 70% in each LEAF program course, complete a half-credit university course and a obtain a minimum overall average of 70% in Level 5.
