Submitting test results

• When registering for your English proficiency test (EPT), please ensure that you select Brock University as a “Destination” or “Receiving Institution” of your score results so we can review and verify them online when we receive them. This option is available for most tests including IELTS, TOEFL, and Duolingo.
• When you submit your application to Brock University, if English is not your first language, you will be prompted to provide proof of English language proficiency using one of tests accepted by Brock. Once you receive your EPT test results, please upload a copy or scan of the test report form to your my.brocku.ca portal. In many cases, we will be able to verify your results as “official” using a reference number on the test report form you upload. If we cannot verify it, we will contact you.
• You may email your unofficial EPT results (a copy or scan) to admissions@brocku.ca. Please include “EPT RESULTS” in the Subject Line and include your 7-digit Student Number or your Campus ID in the email so we know who the results belong to.
• If you prefer, you can ask that the EPT test provider send a hard copy of your test results to:
