ELL Program
After placement testing, students will meet with an advisor to begin planning their education at the College. Students will be given directions on how to select courses for the upcoming semester, and will learn more about the ELL program.
The ELL program has four subjects of three levels each, for a total of 12 courses. In addition, students are required to take developmental, or bridge, English (ENG 050) and Reading (REA 050) courses prior to English Composition I (ENG 100).
Example of a student鈥檚 progress through the ELL program:
