Currently enrolled students in GE, CYA, AE, SAWE, VISP or PW programs who are planning to enter a Pathway, Conditional Admission Program (CAP), or OSU degree-seeking program must also meet the following requirements to progress:

• Completion of current term enrolment in Good Attendance Standing.
• Completion of current term academic program (this includes all graded Academic English classes in any level) with a grade C or better in Reading/Writing, Listening/Speaking and passing grades in elective courses.
• Current enrolment must not be more than 1 language level below the desired entry level.

Note: This includes students who meet the language proficiency requirement based on a qualifying test score.

Students who are denied admission based on fulfillment of the language proficiency requirement, may appeal the decision if the student is in good attendance standing. The petition will be reviewed by committee to determine whether the language proficiency requirement has been fulfilled. The committee will consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to, academic performance, language level in Center, and ability for the student to be successful in the desired program.

The appeal process will be outlined in the email/letter informing the student of the denial and will conform to other appeal processes in the Center. The appeals committee will consist of an academic team member, the Director of OSU International Admissions and a representative from the International Student Advising and Services office.

This policy will take effect Monday, April 1, 2013. Students who present a qualifying test score prior to this date will be “grandfathered” in and admitted under the current policy.
