Program Types

All students in ELP follow the same program expectations and receive the same attention from Program faculty and staff: We want everyone to have the best possible experience and the support they need to reach their goals in learning English!

Non-Degree - ELP Only Students

Students may join the ELP just to study English for the amount of time that best meets a student’s needs and their future goals.

If they are interested in pursuing a degree at Miami, students who are participating only in the ELP may apply for conditional admission to Miami after beginning their ELP program.

ELP Non-Degree Admission Application

Conditionally Admitted Students.

If a student wishes to be conditionally admitted to a degree-program, they will begin their degree program at Miami as either an undergraduate or graduate student after they complete Level 4 of the ELP program

Undergraduate Conditional Admission Application

Graduate Conditional Admission Application

Students may be conditionally admitted to Miami-Oxford (undergraduate/graduate) or Miami-Regionals (undergraduate).
Miami-Regional students are considered commuter students while they are enrolled.

Orientation

When ELP students arrive on campus, they will participate in 2-3 days of orientation activities to welcome them to the campus and community. Orientation will include informational sessions to support understanding campus and community resources, so that students are able to have their needs met while in the program. Orientation will also include placement testing to determine each student’s study plan based on the level of English proficiency they demonstrate
