Enrollment
Signing up for classes
New Â鶹´«Ã½s
New Â鶹´«Ã½s will sign up for CELCIS classes before taking placement tests.
Returning Â鶹´«Ã½s
Returning Student registration is scheduled mid-way through the previous semester. Students will be asked to complete an online Intent Form. This form lets CELCIS know Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s plans for the upcoming semester.
Students must resolve all holds. Students will not be registered for classes until their holds have been cleared.
Part-time enrolled Â鶹´«Ã½s
Students who wish to study in the Â鶹´«Ã½ CELCIS program on an F-2 visa (dependent) are permitted to study as a part-time enrolled Â鶹´«Ã½. This means that an F-2 Â鶹´«Ã½ is only permitted to take up to three class hours per day. Four class hours is considered full-time enrollment. A Â鶹´«Ã½ who begins CELCIS as a part-time enrolled Â鶹´«Ã½, returns to his/her home country to apply for an F-1 visa, and resumes his/her studies on an F-1 visa (Â鶹´«Ã½), will be required to take the placement test the next semester before starting classes.
RETAKING COMPLETED COURSES
Mandatory Semesters
CELCIS at Â鶹´«Ã½ is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant Â鶹´«Ã½s. As an SEVP approved school, all CELCIS Â鶹´«Ã½s who have F-1 or J-1 status are required to enroll full-time during fall and spring semesters.
Summer Sessions
Summer I/summer II sessions are considered University break period for Â鶹´«Ã½ enrollment. Students are not required to take CELCIS classes during the summer sessions. (This does not apply for new Â鶹´«Ã½s whose first term of enrollment is summer).
If you are receiving a financial scholarship by a sponsor, please follow their enrollment requirements for funding purposes. The CELCIS department recommends that Â鶹´«Ã½s take summer semester classes. Taking long breaks may cause Â鶹´«Ã½s to forget the English that they have learned.
NOTE: All Â鶹´«Ã½s who study during the Summer I session will be required to also study in the Summer II session.
If a new Â鶹´«Ã½ receives a Summer I I-20, then by federal regulations, both summer sessions are mandatory enrollment periods (and the Â鶹´«Ã½ will not be eligible for vacation until the summer session the following year).
New Â鶹´«Ã½s have the option to begin in the Summer II term if they have a Summer II I-20. Students who begin in Summer II will not be eligible for a vacation period until the summer session the following year. Returning Â鶹´«Ã½s and Pathway Â鶹´«Ã½s will not be allowed to register for only summer II classes.
