Register for IEL Courses

IEL courses are taught in small sections that have limited enrollment. You are advised to register online as early as possible, after you have taken the English language placement test.

When to Register

The registration period begins in mid-August for fall courses and early December for spring and January session courses.

See the IEL calendar and the placement test schedule for dates.

How to Register

Registration for IEL courses is slightly different from registration for other Extension School courses. You register for IEL courses based on your score on the English language placement test, or, if you were enrolled in an IEL course in the previous term, you register based on your score on the post-test taken in that course. 

For detailed instructions, see How to Register.

Tuition and Fees

The Extension School charges tuition per course. The rates listed in each course description reflect the total tuition for the course. Registration requires full payment of the tuition and a nonrefundable $50 registration fee each term.
