All students who are not native English speakers must take the English Course Placement Test, regardless of previous English coursework, TOEFL score, or SAT score.
The test will be offered several times during New Student Orientation week for students admitted in the fall 2012 semester. Students receive their placement results and register for an appropriate English class on the following morning. English course instructors and academic advisors will be available for questions and to assist with registration.
The test is composed of the following sections: listening comprehension (recorded speech followed by multiple-choice questions), grammar questions (multiple choice), reading comprehension questions (multiple choice), one 30-minute essay (choice of two topics), and a brief oral interview.
Failure to register for an appropriate English course will impact your progress towards completion of degree requirements and may extend your expected date of graduation. If you have problems with your schedule, please contact your academic advisor immediately for help.
For more information, please refer to the English as a Second Language (ESL) Fact Sheet.
