Conditional Admission

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.
