Applicants whose primary language is not English and who have pursued university-level study in countries where English is not the official language are required to demonstrate English language facility by taking recognized tests such as TOEFL (Test of English as a Second Language). Applicants should request that their TOEFL or English proficiency scores be sent to the University of Toronto, institutional code 0982-00. The College reserves the right to interview applicants whose native language is not English. If it is determined that their English language skills require strengthening, intensive English language instruction will be required as part of the first year of their study. For more information about English language programs at the University of Toronto, see english.learn.utoronto.ca

Please note: while submitting your application through Regis College Admissions Portal, you may upload unofficial English test results. If offered, however, admission will be conditional on receipt of official results.

All candidates should be fluent enough in English to participate actively in seminars and to write essays and examinations. Applicants therefore may be required to pass TOEFL (Test of English as a Second Language) and TWE (Test of Written English) examinations to demonstrate English language ability. Applicants should submit English facility test scores at the time of application. Test scores within two years are acceptable.

Transfer credit is not normally granted for theological field education requirements. Transfer credits may be allowed under the following conditions:

Substitutions may be allowed for courses already taken but not considered transferable. Petitions for waiver of program requirements are presented to the Admissions Committee through the student’s Program Director.

Students wishing to transfer from one Regis College degree program to another will be required to follow the admissions procedure required by the new program. Transfer of credits, program residency and outstanding program requirements will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the Basic Program Committee.
