You must maintain a minimum 'C' grade average to remain in good standing in the intensive English program. Students who fail to maintain satisfactory progress must request permission from the ESL director before enrolling in future semesters. To move to a higher level, you must pass all classes in the current level with a 'C' or better. Final course grades are based on both classwork and demonstrated proficiency at the end of the semester. For the requirements of a specific course, ask your instructor.
Certificates show linguistic accomplishment.
Visa students have serious legal responsibilities. Though Loyola offers advising on visa issues, you alone are ultimately responsible for maintaining your legal status, and you will suffer the consequences of non-compliance. In Loyola ESL, this means 18-20 credit hours per semester. If you fail or drop classes, your status may be affected. Your participation in the intensive English program will be viewed as an assent to the principles and policies described in this document.
