Academic Placement Test (APT)

In conjunction with the Academic Core, Emily Carr University offers ENGL-001. This course provides additional support to students in the Academic Core, giving them more time with instructors and course content.

All first year foundation students who do not have university level transfer credit for English 100 must write the university’s Academic Placement Test (APT). The cost of the test is $50.00 and will be charged to your student account.

During the summer, you will be required to register for a sitting of the APT. There will be a few offerings of the test during the summer and we encourage you to take it before the semester begins. For those of you who are unable to take the test during the summer, there will be an opportunity to take it on one of the foundation orientation days. Details on registering for the APT will be sent to your ECU webmail. If you don’t write the test you will be placed in ENGL-001 course for the fall semester. This placement is non-negotiable.
