International Conditional Admission
The 窪蹋勛圖 offers conditional admission to international students who meet the academic requirements for admission but need to improve their English language skills before starting an academic degree program. Students who receive conditional admission to the 窪蹋勛圖 will be allowed to start their degree program after they have met the requirement for English proficiency.
Below are two ways to meet the English proficiency requirements.
If you have taken one of these tests and your current score does not meet the requirement, you may retake the TOEFL, Duolingo or IELTS in an attempt to meet the requirement. Scores from multiple tests may not be combined. To finalize your admission, an English proficiency score that meets the requirement must be submitted along with proof of funding to the Office of Admissions no later than Nov. 15 for spring applicants and June 15 for fall applicants.
The Pathway to CU Program is offered through the International English Center. Students take coursework in academic English and participate in workshops, activities and events that help them transition into the university community. Students who choose to enroll in the Pathway to CU Program must successfully complete all levels of the program, or submit the required English language proficiency test scores before beginning their degree program at the university.
