English Placement Test

If you have been admitted on Limited-status due to language deficiency, you are strongly recommended to take the EPT well before classes begin. The EPT consists of two parts: a written test and an oral test. The writing test requires students to produce an academic essay based on the information obtained from a series of short reading passages and a short lecture. In the oral test, students are asked to complete a series of speaking tasks during a separate oral interview.

EPT Registration: You need to GET YOUR NETID first. Then you can find the upcoming 2024 test dates and how to register from this page. More information about test window timing is available on the registration page.

Scam Safety

ISSS has been alerted that students have been contacted by individuals claiming to be police officers or law enforcement (either from the U.S. or the student's home country), indicating that the student is suspected of illegal activity, and the asking students to pay money to avoid prosecution. This is a scam. Read more about how to identify a scam and what should you react to a potential scam.
