shall be required to submit scores on the TOEFL or an equivalent test
approved by Transitional Studies.
ESL students shall be admitted with the condition that they achieve
appropriate competency levels in English composition.
Based upon TOEFL or equivalent test scores, Transitional Studies shall
determine which ESL students need ESL instruction. Students who are found to
be exempt from ESL course requirements shall be subject to the regular
English placement-testing and course-completion requirements described in
these regulations. Other ESL students shall:

score the equivalent of 550 or above on the TOEFL and meet the admission
requirements of a degree-granting academic unit. Students admitted in
this fashion to Transitional Studies shall not be eligible for
admission to another academic unit until they have completed ESL-related
requirements.
