International Graduate Student Courses
(2-credits)
English language screening tests are available to international students enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder. The purpose of the tests is to assess students’ academic English proficiency and pronunciation.
Working professionals and community members who are not degree students are not required to take the tests.
International students in some departments, including those who will be TA's or RA's, are required to take English language screening tests in writing and/or speaking. All international students, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, should check with their college or department about testing requirements.
English Language Screening Test: Wednesday, August 21, 2024 - Friday, August 23, 2024
Advisors with specific concerns about a student’s assessment should contact ieccu@colorado.edu.

When registering for courses, letter grading (A, B, C, D, and F) is the traditional method for credit and grading. Most credit courses are taken with this option. However, students may take a credit course for no credit or pass/fail.
Note: Students who receive a scholarship for an ESL Credit course must take the course for a letter grade.
