Provide Proof of English Proficiency

For students whose native language is not English, proof of English proficiency is required. There are multiple ways to satisfy this requirement. Please have an official test score report sent to Champlain College in order to be considered for direct admission to the undergraduate program at Champlain. Our school's code for the TOEFL is 3291.

• TOEFL (paper-based): 550 (no sub score lower than 50)
• TOEFL (internet-based - iBT): 79+ (no sub score lower than 14)
• IELTS Academic: 6.5 (no sub score lower than 5.5)
• PTE: 58
• SAT Verbal: 500+
• British 'O' Level English Pass: A-C
• Cambridge Assessment English:  C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency
• Duolingo: score of 105+ required.
• Students who have been entirely educated in English are exempt.
• High school or college students who have had at least 3 years of instruction in English at an accredited U.S. college/university/high school may supply official transcripts to see if they might be able to waive the English Proficiency requirement.

If you have any questions about these tests or have taken another English language test not listed here, please reach out to Jessa Karki at jkarki@champlain.edu to discuss.

Important Note: The College reserves the right to request that an international student take a test to determine the student's level of English proficiency even if the student has submitted the required documentation to waive English proficiency listed above.
