The following tracks of study are advised. Students test into Level 1 (true beginner), 2 (high beginner), 3 (elementary), 4 (low intermediate), 5 (high intermediate), or 6 (Bridge) upon arrival using the iTEP (International Test of English Proficiency). Advancing to the next course level is based on demonstrating competency through exit exams and earning an average grade of 80% in the current semester classes.
