FALL SEMESTER 2009

Placement:
You will be placed in a Core and/or Oral Communications Skills class based on the recommendations of your teachers from Spring Session (if you are a returning student) and your score on the placement test.

Academic Classes:
If you have a sufficiently high score on the TOEFL or the placement test, you may qualify to take an academic course. Please make an appointment to see Ellen Kohn as soon as possible if you think you qualify. If you are a graduate student, you will need to make an appointment with Michael Smith.
