Requirements for Completing Mandatory Courses
If you are a degree-seeking student and, based on scores on the ACCUPLACER ESL (LOEP), IELTS, or TOEFL, you place in English as a Second Language for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses, you will be required to enroll in the courses when you begin at Valencia and continue to enroll in them each term until you have completed your Mandatory EAP courses. (See EAP Completion Chart.)
If you are a non-degree-seeking student (enrolled in a Technical Certificate program, as a transient student, for teacher recertification, for job improvement or for personal interest), you are not required to take a developmental course(s) unless needed as a prerequisite(s) for a specific course.
