School. 3rd year entry First-Year English and the Language Proficiency Index Requirement UBC, Vancouver : Most undergraduate UBC students (except those in Bachelor of Arts, who take ASTU 150) must complete first-year English courses. Before you can register in a first-year English course, students must complete the Language Proficiency Index (LPI) test or be exempted from it. Students must complete all sections and achieve a minimum score of level 5 (30/40) on the essay section of the examination. Exemption from LPI 75% final grade (blended or school mark assigned by teacher which ever is higher) in English 12 or English Literature 12 or equivalent or 80% interim grade for a course in progress at the time of admission. This is based on the marks sent by the ministry in May. LPI is NOT required for admission. https://you.ubc.ca/ubc/vancouver/nadmitcan.ezc FACULTY OF ARTS PROGRAMS :If you're taking a program in the Faculty of Arts (BA, BFA, or BMus), you won’t be required to register in First-year English unless you intend to pursue Arts One, or English major, or a minor in English. However, Arts students must fulfil the First-year Writing Requirement. You can fulfill the requirement in several ways, including by registering in the Coordinated Arts Program or Arts Studies 150. Registration for these courses doesn’t require LPI, or exemption. If you’re taking Arts One, or wish to take English as a major or minor, however, you must take First-year English. This requires that you pass the LPI (or qualify for exemption), before you enrol in the First year course.
