Conditional Letter of Admission (CLA)
Some universities offer Conditional Admission. Students who receive a Conditional Admission offer are considered to be academically qualified, but lack the English proficiency required for a regular admission. A Conditional Admission letter states that the student will be admitted once he or she demonstrates a specified level of English proficiency.
Proof of English language proficiency is determined by the school and includes one of the following:
- Completion of Level 112 of ELS' English for Academic Purposes program
- Achieve a specified score on the TOEFL® or IELTS™ tests*
How to Apply to a University
- Begin your search. Choose a degree, location, and an area of study.
- Work with your ELS/American Language Center counselor to get your Conditional Letter of Admission and other needed documents.
- ELS University Admission Services will review your application and help you formally apply.
