Applicants are required to have successfully completed the equivalent of three years of full-time instruction in an English language secondary institution as recognized by Memorial University of Newfoundland. Applicants must successfully complete appropriate course(s) in English at the Grade 12 or equivalent level. English as a second or additional language (ESL/EAL) courses are not acceptable for meeting this requirement. The University may require, as deemed appropriate by the University Committee on Admissions, further proof of English proficiency through an acceptable standardized test as outlined under Standardized Tests.

Applicants who have attended a recognized post-secondary institution where English is the language of instruction must have successfully completed one of the following:

• A minimum of 30 credit hours or equivalent of full-time instruction in a recognized degree program at a university in Canada.
  
  
• A minimum of a 2-year credential in a recognized program awarded by a post-secondary institution in Canada.
  
  
• A minimum of 30 credit hours or equivalent completed at a partner institution of Memorial University and leading to an exchange, transfer, or other academic program governed by an agreement between the partner institution and Memorial University. Applicants must also satisfy any additional English language proficiency requirements outlined in the partnership agreement.

Applicants who have attended post-secondary institutions other than those noted above, and who do not meet the English language proficiency requirements under English Language Secondary Institution, will normally be required to take an acceptable standardized test as outlined under Standardized Tests.

Applicants who have early acceptance to Memorial University of Newfoundland, but have not obtained the English language proficiency requirements to be admitted, have the opportunity to take part in the Memorial University of Newfoundland's Intensive English Program (IEP). Applicants in the IEP may provide evidence of reaching the required English language proficiency by way of their performance in their IEP coursework, or by achieving an acceptable score on an institutionally recognized test or a standardized test as outlined under Standardized Tests. Information regarding Memorial University of Newfoundland's IEP can be found at www.mun.ca/esl or the Grenfell Campus sections of the Calendar.

Applicants may demonstrate proof of English proficiency through a standardized test acceptable to the University Registrar. Where necessary, the University Registrar may consult with both the University Committee on Admissions and the English as a Second Language department. Acceptable tests, minimum score requirements for general admission, and submission instructions are provided online at www.mun.ca/undergrad/admissions.

Other forms of proof of English language proficiency, acceptable to the University Registrar, may be considered. Where necessary, the University Registrar may consult with both the University Committee on Admissions and the English as a Second Language office.
