On-campus testing is required of all international applicants whose first language is not English and applicants from Puerto Rico and francophone Canada.

The on-campus English tests are coordinated by the English as a Second Language (ESL) Program. Based on the results of these tests, students may be required to enroll in courses as designated by the ESL Program. Satisfactory completion of ESL courses is mandatory for continued University funding and graduation when students are required to enroll in such courses.
