If you are a current GEOS Languages PLUS student, please let a staff member know of your intentions to join the University Pathways Program at least 12 weeks prior to the date in which you wish to start college or university.
For students who are considering GEOS, please contact us with your request. We will respond to you and give you Pathway Partner options (if you haven't chosen a school beforehand) for the program you wish to study. Once you have chosen a program and school, we will begin the full application process outlined below in point 4.
The admission requirements will vary based on what program you wish to study, which school you wish to go, and which degree/diploma you wish to pursue. Some schools will let you advance after successful completion of level 5 or 6 in our schools while others will require a specific TOEFL iBT, IELTS, or internal university score. Please contact us for information specific to your situation.
For GEOS, it depends on what program you wish to take. Please view GEOS' fee schedule. For the University Pathways Partner Institution you choose, fees will vary as well. It is recommended that you check with the institution for exact details.
For GEOS, the earlier you register, the earlier your place is confirmed in the school. We want to accept all students, but if all classes are full, we might not be able to accept your application.
Here is the order of the application:
English students can start their courses on any Monday. French students who are beginners will need to start their courses on the required course start dates, while French students who are NOT beginners can also start their courses on any Monday. Our University Pathways Partner universities and colleges have specific start dates so be sure to plan accordingly.
If you plan to study at GEOS, you can get a conditional Letter of Acceptance from the majority of our University Pathways Partner Institutions. Each college / university has slightly different documentation requirements, so please consult with a GEOS staff member to get full details.
It depends on your English level when starting and the English level required by the university or college. You may need to study more to reach the required English level for the University Pathways Program. We can give you a free level check on the first day of, or prior to, your arrival at GEOS and custom-make a study plan for you.
12 weeks. Some students may advance after 8 weeks if teacher recommendations, attendance, and academic requirements are met.
At least 12 weeks in advance. GEOS Languages PLUS needs this time to help with your application and to ensure your academic requirements are met. You will need to plan your studies around university start dates.
You can study in most programs, but there may be some restrictions based on admission requirements excluding English requirements. This is particularly true in the case of students interested in pursuing a Master's Degree. GEOS can help you find this information.
From 2 to 4 years. This will depend on the program you pursue and your own study schedule.
It does depend on what you wish to study. For many students, a college diploma is more budget-friendly; in Canada, many students prefer to have a college diploma as it is often seen as more practical with more "hands-on" experience than a university degree.
In the USA, yes, most colleges award Bachelor degrees. In Canada, you can transfer your college credits to a university after you complete your 1st year of college.
The university options will depend on the articulation agreements (transfer agreements) between your college of choice and the universities. Some colleges have articulation agreements with a large number of universities. We recommend that students meet with counselors at their target college and visit the college's website to get full details about the school's transfer options.
The number of transferable credits will vary based on the college you attend and the university you plan on transfering to. Students must meet with counselors at their target college to determine which courses to take. Unfortunatley, GEOS cannot provide this information.
Yes. You can apply to any of our University Pathway Partner institutions no matter where it is; however, you must follow Canadian, US, or European immigration rules if you plan to change countries. You must also follow the admission requirements of each college and university excluding English requirements.
