R.4.4 IFP Bridging

IFP Bridging consists of three tiers which teach advanced academic language and skills for use in university contexts. Each Tier (1-3) consists of a full term (approximately 208 hours) of instruction. Refer to R.3 for information on how students are placed in Tiers.

IFP Bridging students who have completed all required Tier 2 courses are permitted to register in up to two credit courses per term with the approval of the IFP Associate Dean.

The following chart outlines the course requirements for each Tier:

Results from the most recent English language proficiency scores provided during the admission process will be used to place IFP Bridging students into appropriate courses and Tier (Tiers 1-3). Students may be placed within one Tier, or across Tiers in different areas (writing, reading or listing comprehension).

Students must submit acceptable test results to the admissions office no later than the first day of classes. To meet English language proficiency requirements for admission to a degree program, students must complete all areas at the Tier 3 level.

All IFP Bridging students who achieve a grade of "C" or better in a course will be permitted to advance to the next tier level for that course. Students who achieve a grade of "C-" or lower in any course will be required to repeat that course. The transcript will indicate the grade for both the first attempt and the repeated course.

Grades for IFP Bridging courses are not used in the calculation of grade point averages for degree programs unless specifically allowed by that program. In addition, IFP Bridging courses may not be used for credit toward a degree program unless specifically allowed by that program.

Students admitted to IFP Bridging cannot submit English language proficiency scores for early exit from the program after the first day of IFP classes.
