If my student/advisee has completed courses in an Intensive English Program, are they exempt from ESL at UAH?
No. As noted above, the curriculum in Intensive English Programs usually serves the needs of students whose language skills are below the minimum levels acceptable for admission to UAH. Therefore, students who have training in IEPs must nonetheless expect possible placement in ESL courses. Most often, these placements will be determined on the basis of instructor recommendation at the conclusion of the student’s final semester in the IEP – prior to matriculation in a degree program at the university.
