Results of EPT Test

What do the results of the English Placement Test mean?

Please note EPT results can take 8-10 business days to be returned by mail. Alternatively, the Enrolment and Registrar Office at any campus will provide marks (photo ID must be presented.)

When you write the EPT you will be placed into one of five levels. To find out where you have been placed, look for the marker’s initials next to the corresponding placement. It will read one of the following:

If you have been recommended for further testing, this means that we cannot place you into an appropriate level based on the English Placement Test. You can sign up for further ACP testing (for native English speakers) or ELST testing (for non-native English speakers) at admissions. There is no charge for further testing, providing you sign up before the end of the following semester. It is best to sign up as soon as possible. Please take your results form to the Enrolment Services Front Counter on either the Surrey or Richmond campus to sign up for further testing.

If you have been placed into ENGQ 1097, you are eligible to register for ENGQ 1097 or ABEE 0070. This does not meet the Kwantlen General Admission requirement, so you cannot register for university-level courses (any course numbered 1100 or higher), unless you have met the requirement another way.

ENGQ 1098

This meets the Kwantlen General English requirement. You can register for university-level courses (any course numbered 1100 or higher), including ENGL 1100, CRWR 1100, and CMNS 1140.

Please ensure you have applied for an undergraduate studies program. Program Status Change forms are available in the Student Enrolment Services office, and there is no cost associated with changing your program.’ If you are not sure what your current program is, you can check online at mykwantlen.ca
