Students entering Acadia’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program are placed into the appropriate level based on a placement test taken on the first day of the term. Alternatively, recent scores from recognized English proficiency tests such as TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test (DET) may be used for direct placement.

Your EAP level is determined in one of two ways:

📝 Option 1: Acadia Placement Test

• Taken on the first day of the term

• Assesses your skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking

• Helps place you in the level that best matches your needs

📄 Option 2: External Test Scores

• If you’ve recently completed TOEFL, IELTS, or DET, you can submit your scores

• You’ll be placed directly into the appropriate EAP level based on your results

✅ This ensures you get the right support to build your academic English skills.
