The ESL program has 5 levels of ESL. Each level takes one semester to complete and has both required and recommended classes. In each level, you will take classes in writing, reading, listening and speaking, as well as academic support courses.

Based on the results of your ESL placement test, you will be assigned to your first level of ESL classes. To pass a level, you need to complete all required courses with a grade of C or above. Though the reommneded courses are not required, they will help you improve your skills and perform better in your required courses!

After you pass a level, you may enroll in the next level of classes. Once you complete Level 5, the highest level, you will be ready to enroll in college English!
