Placement into English as a Second Language (ESL) - Entering students whose native language is other than English, whose performance on the ACT Writing Exam is designated ESL by CUNY-wide readers, are referred to the ESL Placement Committee for evaluation and placement. Depending on their original placement level and progress, ESL students take a sequence of courses to complete the requirements for the A.A. or A.S. degree. The number of credits will depend on their original level of placement and progress.

Content-Based Program of ESL Instruction
A new program of ESL instruction was phased in, starting Fall 2003. The ESL program of study integrates content area to develop both English language skills and a body of interdisciplinary content and discourse information necessary for students to navigate academic courses and University requirements.
