Chestnut Hill College partners with FLS International to offer comprehensive ESL programs on the College’s campus. Learn more or enroll at FLS.
Applicants who have previously attended a high school, college or university in the United States for more than one year and have earned passing grades in English courses may be exempt from an English proficiency exam. Please contact the Global Education Office.
The Conditional Admission provides international students lacking the English language proficiency necessary to enroll in partner International ESL Schools. The students will be given the opportunity to strengthen their English-language skills first, so that they may ultimately enroll, and then succeed in classes with native English speakers.
In order to qualify for Conditional Admission, students must apply to the College and be academically admissible to their degree program. If a student is admitted to the College with a conditional acceptance, the student must begin coursework at the ESL center and successfully complete the official or institutional TOEFL.
Once students complete the program, send their official test scores to CHC, and receive a recommendation from the program, then they are eligible to enroll in their degree program at Chestnut Hill College.
Chestnut Hill’s code number for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is 003245.
CHC's code number is 2082.
Listing CHC's code on your registration form will allow us to receive an official copy of your scores directly.
