Conditional Admission - International

International applicants whose academic record is sound but whose English language proficiency fails to meet the UNC minimum admission standard may be granted a conditional admission to UNC. However, as the condition for admission, they must first study Intensive English to improve their proficiency. Based on their TOEFL score at the time of admission and their score on UNC’s Academic English Assessment, they will either start with English full-time, or they will qualify to take part-time English and part-time courses toward their degree (Bridge Program). Students in the Intensive English program register as full-time students at UNC, but may not be released from conditional admission status until approved to do so by the Coordinator of the Intensive English Language Program. Students enrolled in this program will receive all the benefits and services provided to full-time students at UNC.
