| All students whose native language is not English are required
to take the ESL
placement test. If your test results and advisor interview
show a need for ESL instruction, you are required to complete
all ESL classes your advisor recommends. You may not take any
non-ESL courses until you complete all the recommended classes.
The International Student Advisor reserves the right to withdraw
students who are enrolled in unauthorized courses.
You may be exempted from the ESL Placement Test if one of the
following situations applies to you:
- You have graduated from a U.S. college or university.
- You have documentation that you have earned credit for
the equivalent of ENG 111 at an accredited U.S. college or
university.
- You have documented proof that you have completed the ESL
Program at Northern Virginia Community College.
- You have taken the TOEFL and have scored at least a 550.
- You have met with the International Student Advisor who
gives you a written exemption.
You must have a signature from the International Student Advisor
to be exempted from the ESL Placement Test. If you are exempted
from the ESL Placement Test, you must follow the guidelines
for the COMPASS Test offered through Enrollment Services. |
