International Applicants

English Language Evaluation

To better serve the needs of our international students and the faculty who work with them, all new international students with undergraduate degrees from non-English-speaking universities are required to undergo a brief evaluation for speaking and writing English (English Second Language evaluation). The International Office will conduct the English language evaluation during International Student Orientation. This evaluation is done at no cost to the student. If the student does not pass one of the two evaluations, he/she will be required to take the designated English Second Language course the first semester at UT. If the student is required to take two English Second Language courses, he/she must take one course the first semester and the second course the next semester.
