Students who receive permission to enroll in the program are tested in writing, reading, speaking and listening. Based on the outcome of placement tests, the English Language Institute will recommend to the graduate departments the areas where each student needs improvement. Students studying less than four hours of English per day may be allowed by their department to enroll in some graduate courses as well. At the end of a semester, students take exit exams. Based on the outcome of the exam and the student's work during the semester, the program coordinator will recommend to the graduate department that the student enroll for all graduate courses or continue studying English.
Most students complete their English requirements in a semester.

After receiving registration materials, students should consult with the Graduate Advisor in the major area at the time and place indicated in the registration instructions regarding details of registration, course program and other procedures. It is important that a student wishing to take courses for graduate credit consult the appropriate Graduate Advisor before registering, as each student's program of work must be approved by the Graduate Advisor, the Committee on Graduate Studies, the student's supervising committee and the Dean of Graduate Studies. Failure to consult with the Graduate Advisor could result in the student's enrolling for courses that are not applicable toward meeting graduate degree requirements. Registration Schedule Students should be familiar with all dates on the Graduate School calendars printed in this catalog.
