Provisional Admission — English Language
International applicants whose academic record is sound but whose English language proficiency fails to meet the UNC minimum admission standard may be granted a provisional admission to UNC. However, as the provision for admission, they must first study Intensive English to demonstrate their proficiency. Based on their TOEFL or IELTS 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. Students in the Intensive English program register as full-time students at UNC, but may not be released from provisional admission status until successful completion of the Intensive English Program. Students enrolled in this program will receive all the benefits and services provided to full-time students at UNC.
