Enrollment


 

Enrolling in the ESOL (ESL) program takes 3 easy steps:

  1. Complete an application to Lone Star College.
  2. To schedule an ESOL placement test, call the Testing Center at 936.273.7377

  3. See an ESOL Advisor to register for ESOL (ESL) classes

New students must take the ESOL Program's Placement Test (ESOL Accuplacer) before enrolling in a class. The test has 4 sections: listening, grammar, reading, and writing. The first 3 sections are done on the computer, and the writing part is completed on paper. The test takes about 2 hours to complete and costs $24. The test is administered in the Testing Center (Maverick Student Center, 2nd floor). A picture ID is required to take the test. 

You may register in the ESOL (ESL) courses in two ways. One way is to enroll as a credit student, and the other is as a non-credit continuing education (CE) student. Regardless of how you register, you will sit in the same class and receive the same quality instruction. Whether you register as a CREDIT student or a CE student, you must see an ESOL Advisor
