English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Program
The ESOL program is a credit program of developmental study designed to prepare non-English speakers for admission to college-level work. To be admitted to the program, students must score a minimum of 330 on the TOEFL paper version (53 on the computerized version), or a minimum score on CELSA (see the following section on Combined English Language Skills Assessment (CELSA) Testing Requirement). CIS form I-20 may be issued for F-1 visa processing for enrollment into the ESOL program. See the section titled International Student Admissions (F-1 Visa Holder). The ESOL Program does not fall under the provisions of the TSI. In order to move from the ESOL developmental program and to enroll in college-credit courses, students must have the recommendation of the ESOL program director and/or must document that they have met the English language proficiency requirement.
See the section titled English Language Proficiency Requirement for Students Whose Native Language Is Not English.
