The English Proficiency Test (EPT)
All students in the ESOL program take the EPT prior to the start of their ESOL classes whether studying for academic, professional, personal, or combined purposes.
At Alliant, the English Proficiency Test (EPT) is an admissions requirement for all international students who do not meet the TOEFL requirement listed for their specific academic program. The exam is taken prior to first-time registration and is offered on the San Diego campus during the orientation period each semester. Based on EPT results, students will be:
- assigned to the appropriate ESL courses, or
- assigned to the highest level of ESL courses in conjunction with degree work or
- allowed to begin their degree program immediately with no English study required
The English Proficiency Test measures a student’s abilities in reading, grammar, writing, listening and speaking skills. Each skill is evaluated separately; overall proficiency is also determined.
Housing and Transportation
Alliant has very limited on-campus housing on the San Diego campus. Housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis for admitted students. Students are encouraged to arrange and provide for their own housing and transportation while enrolled in the program. Alliant’s Housing Office is available to consult with students for possible recommendations and affiliations.
