Levels:
In order for students to meet the highest possible levels of English proficiency, the remediation program in ESL consists of five intensive levels. Student progress is consistently and accurately assessed through testing at the appropriate level of proficiency. Students with a greater need for immersion may initially be enrolled into level “A” and level “B” subjects. More advanced students will be placed in higher levels (C, D, or E). 

Students are placed at particular levels based on proficiency. This proficiency is determined by testing. Students are evaluated by instructors who appropriately distribute grades indicating learning and growth.

Curriculum Components:
Grading components include: Grammar, oral communication, and reading, writing, and integrated language skills. In cases where any of the required components have not been met; students are required to repeat the course. However, in particular cases of students’ non-progress and demonstration of the inability to perform at a satisfactory level in three or more curriculum components, a dismissal from the course will be issued. 

The overall scores of the exams measure the appropriate levels of ESL placement with the following restriction: Students must complete all subsequent levels of ESL before they are permitted to take English Composition I.
