English Proficiency
All students take a TOEFL test upon entry to determine their English proficiency level
Upon arrival, international students will undergo an English evaluation process and be placed in a class that matches their English proficiency level (CP 1-4 or straight to LA)
Students generally progress through each level, but may skip levels based on their test scores
