Overview
The combination of the English Language Certificate Program (ELCP) and the Open Learning program provides a flexible option for guaranteed admission to Bachelor of Arts degrees at the University of Guelph. This pathway saves students time by allowing them to complete four courses toward their degree while they are finishing their advanced English language courses.
A few days prior to the start of the program, students will be tested for placement into the appropriate English class level.
How it Works (The following steps are required for the Guaranteed Admission Pathway): • Complete the advanced level of the English Language Certificate Program • Complete four undergraduate courses with a 70% cumulative average • Enter the degree program with four advanced credits toward the degree
ELCP Language levels (The duration of each level is seven weeks. The levels are divided as follows): • Levels 1 and 2 - High beginner level • Levels 3 and 4 - Low intermediate level • Levels 5 and 6 - Intermediate level - most students who have studied English in secondary school enter the program at this level or higher • Levels 7 and 8 - High intermediate level • Levels 9 and 10 - Advanced level. Completion of both Level 9 and Level 10 meets the English proficiency requirement for entry into undergraduate and graduate degree programs
Note: This program is intended only for students who have not studied at a post-secondary institution. Students must achieve an overall average of 80% or higher in levels 7 and 8, or in levels 8 and 9 to be eligible to begin Open Learning degree-credit courses while completing the advanced level of ELCP.
