91原创

Academic Transitions is required for all students who are conditionally-admitted to an聽undergraduate聽program at the 91原创. All undergraduate programs at the 91原创 participate in conditional admissions (except for nursing).

Students must meet admissions requirements of the 91原创; however, they are not required to submit a TOEFL or IELTS exam score in order to be conditionally admitted. They will be considered for conditional admissions based on the rest of their application (e.g., their academic background, extracurricular activities, etc.).

In order to determine whether you are eligible for Academic Transitions, you must聽聽for conditional admission to the 91原创.

There is聽no application deadline聽for any student that wishes to apply for conditional admission to the 91原创. This is one of the advantages of the program鈥搃t is flexible and convenient!

There are three start dates for Academic Transitions each year. In addition, students at lower levels can begin the ELI on six different start dates during the year.

Students applying to AT will complete just one application, the new 91原创 Online Application.

All undergraduate programs at the 91原创 participate in conditional admissions (except for nursing).

There is no minimum GPA requirement for students to enter Academic Transitions; however, all students in AT must have been conditionally admitted to the 91原创.

This means that聽all AT students must meet the University鈥檚 admissions requirements (except for their English scores).

The University鈥檚 Office of Admissions is the only department that determines whether a student is admissible to the 91原创鈥檚 undergraduate programs.

The 91原创鈥檚 Office of Admissions is responsible for determining whether a student is admissible to 91原创鈥檚 undergraduate programs. The ELI does not make admissions decisions for degree programs at the 91原创.

All AT students must have been conditionally-admitted to the 91原创. This means that聽all AT students must meet the University鈥檚 admissions requirements (except for their English scores).

Yes! Any student who meets all admissions requirements for the 91原创 except for the English requirements is eligible for conditional admission, and therefore can take AT. This includes students who graduate from American high schools.

Minimum English requirements for the 91原创 are:

鈽� TOEFL: minimum score of 79 (Internet-based TOEFL 鈥� IBT)

There are three tracks of study in Academic Transitions: business, engineering, and arts and sciences. Students will take ELI and 91原创 courses based on their track of study.

You do not have to select the track of study on the ELI application when you apply for Academic Transitions; instead, the ELI will automatically place you in the correct track of study聽based on the major that is listed on your 91原创 acceptance letter.

All I-20 Forms for ELI programs are issued by the 91原创鈥檚 International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS).

Students who show a聽test score聽that potentially qualifies them for AT will be issued an I-20 Form with a 鈥減rogram level鈥� that says 鈥淥ther: Pathway Program.鈥� This follows the U.S. laws about issuing I-20 forms for pathway programs.

A note about placement:聽Only students who are eligible for Academic Transitions (based on the ELI鈥檚聽placement process) will receive an I-20 Form for Academic Transitions. Students who do not meet the ELI鈥檚 English requirements to enter AT will receive a 鈥淟anguage Training鈥� I-20 Form with an admission to聽Pre-Academic Transitions.

Academic Transitions students are typically expected to complete the program in 2 semesters (i.e., 8 months). As a result, the I-20 Form for AT will show a program duration of聽8 months.

However, if a student is required to complete an extra 4-month semester of AT (i.e., if a student must complete AT 3), we can extend the I-20 Form for an additional 4 months.

This process is very simple, and students will receive the instructions for this in advance.

There is no deadline to accept the offer, however, we may not be able to guarantee your desired session start date until you complete the ELI Study Confirmation Form.

In addition, 91原创鈥檚 International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) will not send your Welcome Package and I-20 Form until you complete the Study Confirmation Form and have paid the express mail fee is paid (US $35).

One of the advantages of the ELI is that it is an official part of the 91原创!

This means that, with Academic Transitions, you will pay all of your fees directly to the ELI. The tuition paid to ELI will include both ELI and 91原创 academic courses.

This makes the payment process more simple for our students, and it also makes it easier to know who to go to for help with your bill!

Tuition bills are sent to students by聽email聽approximately one to two weeks before the beginning of the session. The bill will contain instructions to pay online with a credit card or via a bank wire transfer.

If you have a question about your bill, contact聽elibilling@udel.edu聽(remember to include your student ID number and your name written exactly as it appears in your passport).

The tuition of AT3 is much lower than the tuition for AT1 and AT2. This is true even though AT3 includes up to 11 university credits!

AT3 is so much cheaper because it is less expensive for the ELI to offer AT3聽than it is to offer AT1 and AT2. Students spend more time using ELI resources in AT1 and AT2 than they do in AT3.

In addition, most students will graduate from the ELI after AT2, so fewer students will need (or choose) to continue in AT3. Since the ELI is a non-profit institution, we pass our cost savings to our students!
