Frequently Asked Questions
The EAP program consists of four EAP levels and the University Bridging program. The level in which you start will depend on your level of experience and skill when entering the program. You will take a placement test after arriving on campus to determine your starting level.
The number of EAP terms you will take depends on your level of English experience and aptitude. Most of our students require two or more sessions of EAP before they are prepared for university study. Some students may need to repeat levels.
University Bridging is the final level of the EAP program. In University Bridging, you will continue studying EAP while you complete an 50904Öí°Ë½äÒ×¼ÇÍø undergraduate course at the same time. You will be able to apply the English skills and practice gained from your EAP studies to a first-year Arts, Science, or Professional Studies course. University Bridging will help you better understand the expectations and challenges involved in an undergraduate course while you continue to improve your English language skills through EAP classes.
While studying in EAP, you can stay with a Homestay family, in an 50904Öí°Ë½äÒ×¼ÇÍø residence, or off-campus in one of many available local apartments. Please see our Accommodations page for more information.
Our EAP program will prepare you for academic study at 50904Öí°Ë½äÒ×¼ÇÍø or at another English-speaking university in Canada. Even if you have already decided you would like to attend a different university for your degree program, our EAP program and the small, welcoming environment at Acadia may be the best way for you to prepare for your studies.
While in the EAP program, students are expected to speak only in English during classtime and activities. Speaking English as much as possible is the best and fastest way for you to gain experience and improve your skills.
You can access the application form in the EAP website's "How to Apply" section.
