ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE: Information on the English Proficiency Exam (EPE) and Transition Requirements

Dear Students,

As part of the recent update to the TED University English Language School Academic Rules and Regulations, important changes have been introduced in favor of our students regarding the English Proficiency Exam (EPE) and the requirements for progression from the English Preparatory Program to undergraduate programs. These changes entered into effect with the decision of the University Senate dated August 14, 2026, and numbered 2026-13.

Under the new regulations, students who achieve a score of 60% or above on the English Proficiency Exam (EPE) will be considered successful in the English Preparatory Program and will be eligible to begin their undergraduate programs.

The following students will be eligible to take the EPE administered at the beginning of the fall semester in September:

  • Students who are placed at the Upper-Intermediate level based on the results of the Placement Exam (EPL),
  • Students who advanced to and/or studied at the Upper-Intermediate level during the previous academic year,
  • Students admitted in the 2025-2026 academic year who are in the Upper Success group.

We strongly encourage all students who are eligible to take the September EPE to regard this exam as an important opportunity to complete the English Preparatory Program and proceed to their undergraduate programs, and to continue their exam preparation accordingly.

Students who achieve a score of 60% or above on the EPE will be eligible to proceed to their undergraduate programs.

Detailed information regarding the exam date, time, venues, and procedures will be announced separately by the English Language School.

We wish all our students success.
