All students will be given a comprehensive English Placement Test upon their arrival. The placement test assesses the English language proficiency of students who are applying to any of the ESL courses of study.

The EPT is conducted in-house and is administered by the English language institute. This test is used to place students into the appropriate proficiency level. The Placement Test takes approximately two and a half hours to administer. The placement test will assess the following skills: reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking. Results of the test will determine the level in which the student will be placed. There will be a $25.00 fee for placement testing.

The reading, listening, vocabulary and grammar sections consist of 100 multiple choice questions which take approximately one and a half hours to complete. In addition to the 90 minute multiple choice test, students will also be given a 30 minute writing assessment and 15 minute face-to-face interview.
