4. English Proficiency Requirement for Scholarship
In all cases, students must meet Windsor University’s English proficiency requirement in order to receive the scholarship.
Applicants must submit an official Duolingo English Test (DET) score of 90 or higher, unless they qualify for an approved English waiver under Windsor University policy. Windsor’s public DET guidance states that applicants may practice free Duolingo tests multiple times, Windsor requires an official 90+ score, and the official DET currently costs $70.
If a student does not yet reach the required score, Windsor University may help the student improve through its English support resources and preparatory course. Windsor’s published DET course is specifically described as a course for applicants seeking to achieve a score of 90 or higher.
For guidance, applicants may review the following Windsor University pages:
5. Students Who Do Not Yet Have the Official DET Score
A student may still apply for admission and may begin the admission process before receiving the official DET certificate. Once the official qualifying score is submitted, Windsor University may review the student’s eligibility for the scholarship in accordance with university policy.
6. Applicants Whose Transcript Does Not Show a GPA
If the applicant’s transcript does not show a GPA, but instead shows descriptive grades such as Pass, Good, Very Good, or Excellent, the student has two options:
Option 1:
Students can apply through any of the 18 entities under NACES to evaluate their grades as an American GPA equivalent, based on their preference. Choose the option that best fits their needs. They have 18 accredited evaluation bodies.
You may obtain an official U.S. equivalency evaluation through a recognized evaluation service such as: IEE or WES
Option 2:
The student may submit the transcript directly to Windsor University, and Windsor University admission team may review the transcript through its admissions system and provide an estimated equivalent GPA within 24 hours for internal admissions and scholarship review.
Because international grading systems may vary by institution, IEE, WES, or others publicly notes that its GPA calculator is informational only and that a customized scale may be needed when an institution uses a different grading system.
