ESL Assessment


Students interested in enrolling in ESL courses must complete an in-person ESL assessment at the Assessment Center.

The Assessment Center is located in Building 1600, Room 1642. The assessment evaluates reading and language use skills through a combined test. There is no time limit, so please allow yourself ample time to finish.

Instructions for Taking Your ESL Assessment:

ESL assessments are conducted every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. While appointments are not required, we recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early for a smooth check-in. Students arriving 15 minutes late or more will not be permitted to take the assessment.

Please note:
For the Summer Semester (June 2 – July 31, 2025), the Assessment Center is closed on Fridays.

What to Bring:

  • Valid Photo ID: Must be a physical copy; digital copies will not be accepted.

  • Student ID (W#): If you haven’t received your W# via email, visit the Admissions & Records Office to obtain it or check your application status.
