English test waiver

Students from countries where English is the official language are exempt from USIU-Africa's English proficiency requirement, unless their academic performance shows a need for more English study. Applicants can also meet the requirement with a grade of C or better in the Cambridge Test of English Proficiency or USIU-Africa's own English Proficiency test.
