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)
