English as a Second Language Placement Test

All entering freshmen and transfer students whose native language is not English are required to take an English Placement Test in the Modern Language Department to be given by the coordinator of English as a Second Language. This test assesses grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension skills. Testing dates are made available through the Modern Language Department each semester.

Students with combined test scores of 90 or higher are not required to take ESL courses. Students with combined test scores of 89 or lower will be placed in appropriate level ESL courses in consultation with the ESL coordinator and departmental chairperson.
