Hey, I need to ask you guys about some university stuff.  I am going to UVic in september, so I am registering and all that right now but there are a few things you do differently in the west coast that i am not familiar with.  The main thing i need to know about is English and the LPI.  I don't know if this is just UVic, but I haven't heard of it anywhere in Ontario so maybe you guys know about it.  It says I need an 86% or higher in Grade 12 English to be exempt from 1st year English.  That is ok, I had an 80 but I kind of wanted to take English anyways 1st year.  But then it says i need to write the LPI (Language Proficiency Index) if i don't get exempt so they can tell me which class to go in? I checked it out, and i can only write the LPI in Toronto on July 11th and it takes a month give or take a few weeks to process.  This means i won't be able to register courses till AUGUST!

My question: What is this LPI business, and do i need to take it? or can i just use my grade 12 english mark as a reference point to which english i should take?


I am aware that there is little hope for lots of help here but I need to figure this out asap!

My girlfriend was actually going to go to UVIC in September but decided to take a year off. I well get her to check out your questions when I she gets back tomorrow. I am fairly certain she would know.

No, that would be the east coast.

Don't worry, we west coast Canucks hate the French Canadians just as much as everyone else, if not more.


Good luck with UVIC, you should come over to the mainland, Vancouver is a lot more fun. Gonna be a gongshow with the Olympics this year though.

Well I got my girl to look at it and shes a stupid cunt. Doesn't know the answer. Sorry I got your hopes up and you wasted karma on me like that. The best thing you could probably do at this point is call and ask.
