Level is determined by placement exam. Registration begins at the English Language Institute in the Gateway Center, Rm. 243. The Institute is open Mon.-Thurs., 9:00 am-8:00 pm, Fri. 9:00 am-5:00 pm, and Sat., 9:00 am-3:30 pm. Registration instructions are on page xx.
GENERAL MULTI-LEVEL ESL INTENSIVE (5-DAY) SATURDAY or SUNDAY (ALL DAY) EVENING (2-DAY) Six levels of ESL instruction are offered. Each level provides balanced instruction and active practice in all English language skills: listening, speaking (including pronunciation), standard grammar, reading, and writing. New students take an examination to determine the level at which they begin study. Our English-only environment for all activities promotes maximum learning. These courses serve the needs of the general learner and learners specifically preparing for college/university study. Instructors are professionals in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Our courses are also offered in Summer (May-Aug.) and Fall (Sept.-Dec.)
INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM 5 days, Mon.-Fri. This 15-hour per week course (20 hrs/week for F-1 students) allows motivated learners of English to advance rapidly, starting at any level from beginner to advanced. The Intensive English Program (IEP) meets the needs of serious learners, such as preparation for university study or to increase career possibilities. All students take three classes: Intensive Grammar & Reading- 2 days per week (M/Th), Intensive Listening, Speaking & Pronunciation- 2 days per week (T/F) and Intensive Writing- 1 day per week (W). A placement test is required of all new students. Accent on Fluency, open to all IEP students, supplements the IEP with an additional 5 hours per week of instruction and practice in one or more particular skill or content areas. Students who have F-1 status (have an I-20 form) meet the full-time study requirement by also enrolling in Accent on Fluency.
Accent on Fluency The substantial additional speaking and listening practice of this course supplements the Intensive English program (or another ELI English course) and helps accelerate progress towards language learning goals by “deepening” the experience of immersion in English. Also provides additional pronunciation activities to enable you to improve the clarity of your communication.

Campus Security Information The federal government requires institutions of higher education to disclose certain information to all students. This is to inform you of the availability of the information, briefly describe the information in the report, and advise you how to obtain a copy of our annual security report, which includes statistics for the previous 3 years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the college; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters.
