Application Procedures
Admission to IELP is open to persons at least 16 years of age. The IELP accepts recent (within 2 years) TOEFL or IELTS test scores to determine the appropriate level of each student. However, it is not mandatory to take either of these exams before admission. Areas tested include writing, reading, and grammar, vocabulary, listening, and speaking. A beginning knowledge of English is recommended. Admission to IELP does not constitute admission to Central Connecticut State University.
