Where do you begin?
You start by taking a placement test which is given in the Testing Services Center. The test scores are used to place you into one of the five levels of instruction listed above. Following the placement test, you will need to speak with an ESOL advisor about your test results and correct course placement.
You can visit the Testing Services Center now to see times the Center is open for testing as well as it's location, and other testing information, by clicking here - Testing Services. International students are admitted based on TOEFL scores. However they are also required to take the Accuplacer when they arrive on campus for international student orientation.
Students who meet placement requirement in the Levels of English Proficiency (LOEP) Language Use, but whose LOEP Listening score falls below the minimum required for registration, must co-enroll in ESOL 100, Listening Improvement (2 credits), during their first semester.
