Once you have been accepted as a Seneca student, you will take an English Skills Assessment. (This is not the same test you may have done when you first applied to your program.) Book an appointment as soon as possible at 416-491-5050 Ext. 6868. The English Skills Assessment will determine if you are:

a) granted exemption from EAC 150 (College English) or,
b) required to take EAC 150 or,
c) required to take EAC 149 before you can take EAC 150, or
d) required to register in EAP200, EAP300 or EAP330 (English for Academic Purposes) before you can take EAC149 and EAC150.

If you prefer an alternative to classroom instruction, some of our subjects are offered online over the Internet.

You may be able to use credits from other college or university courses to satisfy these requirements. Pick up an Advanced Standing form from the Registration Office and follow the instructions on our website.
