Enrollment Options
ESOL/ESL students have two enrollment options: Credit or non-credit. In general, students who are US citizens, permanent residents (green card holders), and students who are on an F-1 visa enroll as CREDIT students. All students, regardless of status, are able to enroll through the Department of Continuing Education as non-credit students. The enrollment method does not affect the student experience. Both credit and non-credit students are together in the same classes and receive the same high-quality instruction.
Below are some of the differences between the two methods of enrollment:
| Credit | Non-Credit/Continuing Education | |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | For students who are US citizens or permanent residents (Green Card holders) or students on certain types of visas, including the F-1 visa. | For students who are not US citizens or permanent residents (Green Card holders). Also for students who are in the US on a tourist visa or live outside the Lone Star service district. ALL students are eligible to enroll as non-credit. |
