Standardized English Tests
Canadians and Permanent Residents
The following programs have admission requirements related to English proficiency. In these cases, if you have not completed the equivalent of English 40S or 42U in a Manitoban secondary school, USB will require standardized English test results to determine whether you are eligible for your chosen program.
Please note that we only accept the original document (less than 2 years old) indicating the standardized English test results. Photocopied or scanned documents will not be accepted.
