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. The CELE staff utilizes a battery of standardized and in-house tests to assess students’ entry and exit English skills, readiness for matriculation into a specific program, and to place students in an appropriate level of courses. 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.
