International students are required to meet
equivalent academic and performance standards as set forth in
the admission policy and the curricular proficiencies policy.
Additionally, students for whom English is a second language
shall be required to present evidence of proficiency in the
English language prior to admission. Students seeking enrollment
in a state system college or university must meet the admission
standards in the admission policy, the retention policy, and the
policy on admission of transfer students, and must present
evidence of proficiency in the English language prior to
admission, either as first-time students to the state system or
by transfer from another non-system college or university.
This policy is adopted to ensure that students will have a
reasonable chance to succeed at a higher education institution
based on their ability to comprehend, read, and write the
English language.
