Proof of English Language Proficiency

Official score reports may be sent to CBU directly from the testing agency. Our institution code for TOEFL is 9142.

Official documents can also be uploaded to the application portal. If the original language of the document is not English, we require a notarized English translation to accompany the official document.

If you are unable to upload to the application portal, documents can be submitted:

Note: CBU will now accept electronic scans of official documents, per CBU’s General Undergraduate Admission Requirements. CBU reserves the right to request an original document from the issuing institution. Once documents are submitted to CBU for admission purposes they will not be returned under any circumstances.

If evidence of misrepresentation or fraudulent or falsified documentation is found, the penalty is severe. Cape Breton University reserves the right to revoke any offer of admission and/or financial support. Cape Breton University may also disclose evidence of any misrepresentation or fraudulent or falsified documentation to all Canadian universities, to Citizenship and Immigration Canada and to law enforcement personnel where appropriate.
