CF offers English language courses as an integral part of your

academic degree program. We accept students at all English fluency

levels and have courses designed to assist you with improving your

English language skills in order to be successful in college-level

courses. CF advisors will work with you to ensure that you are

taking the courses appropriate for your level and receive the

education you need in order to be successful.

You will take a placement exam upon arrival to CF in order to

determine your English and math skill level. Based on the results of

the placement test, students who are not ready for college-level

courses will be placed in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) or

other preparatory courses. CF accepts TOEFL (61), IELTS (5.5)

and STEP/EIKEN (2A) test scores, but they are not required. If

you have the following scores, you will not be required to take the

English portion of the placement test, but you will take the math

section. CF’s EAP program offers two levels of

instruction in three skill areas: reading,

writing and grammar, and speech

and listening.
