If you apply to the Faculty of Education's Teacher Education program with French as a Second Language option, passing the French as a Second Language language proficiency test is one of the essential conditions for admission. Therefore, everyone (without exception) must register for it. No other language proficiency test (e.g., TestCan, DALF, SEL, French immersion certificate) will be considered interchangeable. Applicants who do not pass the test are not allowed to retake it. A new application for admission must be submitted the following year.
French language proficiency test - FSL
To be eligible for the Bachelor of Education – Teacher Education – French as a Second Language program, all applicants must pass the online language proficiency test.
How to register
Once you have submitted your application, the University will send you a confirmation email. It will contain your uoAccess ID and password, which will allow you to access the uoZone student portal. You will need to click on the “Applications” tab, then “Application for Admission,” and pay the non-refundable test registration fee online. To view the fees, visit the university fees website.
The test is conducted online.
If you have already taken the test between October 2024 and December 2025 and have obtained a full pass or a partial pass, you can use these results for your 2026 admission application. Results obtained prior to this period will not be taken into account. You will then need to re-register. If you do not register for the test, your application will be considered incomplete and will not be evaluated.
You may only take this test once per admission cycle.
Important information:
- It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they have the appropriate equipment and a stable, functional internet connection to take the test under good conditions.
- The fees for the language proficiency test apply only to the selected session and are non-refundable without exception. Any registration for a subsequent session will incur additional fees.
