Who needs to provide proof of English facility?
If your first language is not English, you must present proof of English facility or provide sufficient information for an exemption by the document submission deadline. Review the University’s English Language Requirement page for detailed information, including acceptable tests/qualifications, minimum scores and exemption criteria.
If you are unsure if you qualify for an English Language Requirement exemption, please contact our office as soon as possible. Your application will not be considered for admission until you have satisfied the English Language Requirement.
How do I submit my test scores to the University?
The method of submission will vary depending on the tests/qualifications you are presenting. Visit the English Language Requirements page to determine how to send your results.
The transmission of electronic test scores can take up to 2-3 weeks to be processed. Request to have your results sent to U of T shortly after submitting your OUAC application and well before the Online Student Profile deadline. The English Language Requirement cannot be satisfied with unofficial scores.
NOTE: Ensure that your personal details (e.g. first name, surname, date of birth, gender, etc.) match on both your OUAC application and your test score report. If one or more details do not match, this may delay the University matching your results to your application and/or the assessment of your application. Contact our office if you have any concerns.
What if I do not meet the English language requirements?
You may retake an English language proficiency test and will not be penalized for doing so. However, acceptable English language results must be received by the document submission deadline.
