Non-native English speakers who receive a 2-2.75 on the OPA generally are recommended to take EDUTL 5040 (4 c.h.), and students who receives a 3-3.75 generally are recommended to take EDUTL 5050 (3 c.h.). EDUTL 5060 (1 c.h.) or Independent Studies (1 c.h.) may also be recommended at any score level. Chemistry graduate students are required to take all recommended spoken English ESL courses until they achieve full teaching certification (OPA or OPCA score of 4+). International students may also be required to take EDUTL 5901 (3 c.h.) and/or EDUTL 5902 (3 c.h.) to demonstrate written English proficiency. In general, EDUTL 5901 should be taken in the Spring and EDUTL 5902 should be taken in the Summer. Completion of all required and recommended ESL courses is mandatory. Progress toward English certification, including adequate performance in ESL classes, achieving at least conditional certification by the end of Spring semester, and achieving full certification by the end of Summer term, are considered essential elements of reasonable progress; your continued enrollment will be contingent upon this progress. Students must attend and complete the entirety of their ESL classes in a satisfactory manner.
