Students who miss 2 or more EAP terms must take the CAEL placement test, or provide an IELTS or TOEFL score to determine the correct level for them to study in.

According to Acadia’s admission policies, IELTS or TOEFL scores must be no more than 6 months old at the time of registration to be accepted.

Enrollment Policy

  • At the end of term, students are asked to pre-enroll in the next term of EAP. If you do not pre-enroll, you will not be guaranteed a seat in EAP next term. If classes are full, you will not be allowed to study at Acadia.
