Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

How to Apply
There are two ways to begin your LEAF program studies at Laurier, which vary depending on your academic goals:
- Apply to an academic program at Laurier, then accept a conditional offer of admission and enrol in the LEAF program.
- Apply to study in the LEAF program only.
Accept a Conditional Offer of Admission and Enrol in the LEAF Program
All undergraduate applicants are required to meet our English-proficiency requirement by submitting evidence of their proficiency in English.
If you apply to an undergraduate program at Laurier and meet the academic requirements for your program, but do not meet our English-proficiency requirement, you will receive an offer of admission with a condition to provide evidence of your English proficiency.
You may enrol in the LEAF program to meet this condition. To enrol, you must accept your offer of admission and then register for the LEAF program under the “My Applications” tab of your applicant portal.
Apply to the LEAF Program Only
If you wish to apply to the LEAF program only and not to undergraduate studies, complete and submit the LEAF Program Registration Form. To enrol in the LEAF program, you must submit a current assessment of your English proficiency, which must be uploaded with your application form.
English Proficiency Test Score to LEAF Level
Before you start the LEAF program, submit your most recent IELTS or TOEFL score to leaf@wlu.ca to determine which of our 5 levels you will start in.
