ISP Conditional Admissions
ISP Conditional Admissions
Please be advised that Southwestern Oregon Community College currently does not offer an English as a Second Language (ESL) program for international students with an F-1 visa. We admit international students only for academic study at our college. A TOEFL, IELTS or equivalent score is required for international admissions and we admit students with low TOEFL scores (45iBT).
We will offer a Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLA) if you apply to the language school and to Southwestern Oregon Community College at the same time. A CLA is helpful when you are applying for a student visa as proof of your conditional admission to Southwestern Oregon Community College and of your plan to continue your studies after the language school.
Southwestern Oregon Community College has agreements with several local and national language schools (see list below), which allow guaranteed admission to our College upon completion of a specified level at the language school. Students who complete the conditional admission requirements will therefore not be required to provide TOEFL or IELTS exam results.
