For international students who meet Lakehead
University’s admission requirements, but whose English
Language Proficiency test scores fall below the required
cut-offs, you may be considered for admission through
the Lakehead English Language Program (ELP). Based

students will be admitted to one of the five ELP levels.
If test results indicate that students’ proficiency level
is high enough that they do not need to complete
the ELP, they will continue directly into their degree
program.

pursue their educational goals when and where it’s
most convenient for them. From a single course to a

Distributed Learning by phone at 807‑346‑7730 or

unit that sponsors the particular degree program and
selection is based primarily upon academic credentials;
however, consideration is given to relevant background
information that demonstrates the applicant’s aptitude
for co‑op education. Please note that some co‑op
programs begin in year one, while others begin in year
two or three.
