Intensive English
Here are the most important parts of the website for academic information for the Intensive English Program at the English Language Institute.
The ELI has three core academic English courses: Reading/Writing, Grammar, and Listening/Speaking. The IEP is intended for full-time F1 students and meets for an intensive 23 hours per week. There are six proficiency levels from beginner to advanced. For questions about the skills, promotion criteria through the levels, and exiting the program, contact Patricia Moon.

- Requirements For Exiting the ELI (PDF). Students who wish to enter graduate school at the University of Florida may be interested in exiting (or completing) the English Language Institute and receiving an English language test score (IELTS, MELAB, TOEFL) exemption from the UF Graduate School. The requirements for exiting the ELI include completing all level 60 courses. Students who study in short (7- or 8-week) terms are ineligible for exiting the ELI as the shorter terms are intended for casual learners, professionals, students with full admission to the university, or as preparation for a long semester. Additionally, the highest sections in a short term do not meet the detailed standards listed in the Student Guide (PDF).
