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) 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. http://www.english.ubc.ca/ugrad/1styear/faq.htm#1
LPI is NOT required for admission.
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.
