Other Important Information
- If you apply for English as a Second Language, no TOEFL or Michigan Test score is required. However you must attend at least one full semester before testing out of ESL and requesting an undergraduate I-20. The application fee is $100 and is nonrefundable. This is to be submitted only to UVSC Admissions in U.S. currency by check, money order, or U.S. dollars.
- You must submit either an official TOEFL test score (173 or better, computer based) or the Compass ESL test score (90 or better) to be admitted to UVSC. Test scores must be less than one year old. If you meet English proficiency requirements, you must take an entrance exam prior to registering for classes. This EXAM IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR WHICH WILL DETERMINE YOUR FIRST SEMESTER CLASSES.
