ESL Program Concurrent Enrollment in Academic Credit Courses: Students who meet eligibility requirements may enroll in academic credit courses (up to five credits) per semester at some local colleges while enrolled in English language study at LCI. Those interested should make an appointment with the Registrar for more information. Student placement is determined by a test given prior to the start of classes. Students who have taken a TOEFL, IELTS, MELAB, or exit proficiency test from an English Language Program within four months of beginning courses at LCI may submit test results for placement purposes. LCI administers its placement test free of charge to those who have an approved admission. Feartures
