Transitioning from IESL

At ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½, we encourage our IESL students to continue into college programs and want to support them in the best way possible.

Steps for transitioning from IESL to college credit level:

  1. Enroll in IESL Level F classes
  2. Attend a mandatory transition orientation session
  3. Sign up for a MATH placement test
    2. Login using your L Number and birthday
    3. Click "Make Appointment"
    4. Select "Placement Test/Retest-Math"
    5. Click "Find Appointments"
    6. Select the appointment date and time
    7. Choose the "Placement Test/Retest-Math" again
    8. Click "Continue"
    9. Review appointment information (testing location: Building 1, Room 116)

      It is strongly recommended that you study for the MATH placement test by completing the math review sheets and resources provided by ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½. Bring a calculator with you to your testing appointment.
  4. Meet with an academic advisor and choose classes
  5. Register for classes in myÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½
