How do I register for an English as a Second Language (ESL) course?
You cannot pre-register for ESL courses because you MUST take the ESL placement exam to see what level of ESL courses you are qualified to take. The ESL exam will be offered during the international student orientation and once you receive your results, you will be able to register for the appropriate ESL course. Please note that ESL courses are open to any student who wishes to improve their English language skills and are not mandatory. For more information, go to: http://www.esl.ucsb.edu/.
