Who may apply
The ELI Summer Language programs are designed for students who
will be studying at a U.S. university in the fall. We cannot accept
students who want to study English only for the summer and then
return home. Prior to 1990 we did offer intensive language courses
for any student interested in studying at our institute, but
we no longer do.
If you have been admitted to the University of Michigan, you
have priority over non-University of Michigan students, if you apply before
the program deadline. Although each program has minimum TOEFL
requirements, if you have been admitted to any program at the
University of Michigan, you can be admitted to one of our summer
programs, regardless of your TOEFL score. For students not attending
the university of Michigan, the following TOEFL requirements
must be met.
English for Academic Purposes: 550 on the paper-based TOEFL, or 79 on the Internet-based TOEFL
English for Business Studies: 600 on the paper-based TOEFL,
or 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL
English for Legal Studies: 580 on the paper-based TOEFL, or 92 on the Internet-based TOEFL
You should apply to the summer program as soon as you can. We
will make every effort to admit you; however, sometimes programs
are fully enrolled and we are unable to admit everyone who applies.
Students who have been admitted by a university or college other
than the University of Michigan and have low TOEFL scores can
apply, but acceptance is not guaranteed.

When you will hear from us
If you will be attending the University of Michigan in the Fall
and there is still space available, we can accept you into a
program as soon as we receive your application and deposit. If
you remember to include your e-mail address along with your application,
you will hear from us 3—4 days after we receive your application.
Regular mail correspondence will be slower. We will mail a response
to you 3—4 days after we receive your application, but
regular mail can take as long as 1—2 weeks. Applications
from students attending other schools will take longer. However,
we will consider your application and make every effort to respond
as quickly as possible. |
