• Students interested in Conditional Admission through the ACE-G or ELC program, must provide English language proficiency test scores with their application.
• Graduate students accepted for admission who had to submit an English Proficiency Test score are also required to take the English Placement Test (EPT) before they can register for classes. If a student does not pass the EPT, they must enroll in ENG 119 (English for International Graduate Students) or ENG 107 (Reading and Writing in Academic Contexts) the first semester of admission. If they are offered and accept a graduate teaching assistantship, the student will also be required to take and pass the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) test in order to start their assistantship; if the student does not unconditionally pass the test, they will have to enroll in ACE 619 (Speaking and Presentation for Graduate International Students) during the first semester of enrollment. More information and instructions for taking the EPT and SPEAK (if applicable) tests will be emailed to students before classes begin.
