Courses, Tuition & Calendar

In 2013, the ESL program will have a new curriculum (set of courses), all currently under final stages of development. The courses will have an effective balance between grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking, with strong influence from Experiential Learning Theory.

Upon arrival, new ESL leaners are tested for proficiency in English, then an enrollment counselor will register the learners in appropriate courses. Therefore, registration is manual and takes place on site only.

• Regular Tuition per 7-week term is $1,800 (for standard load of 3 courses). SUU Homestay Students receive a $100 tuition discount.
• Reduced-Load Tuition per 7-week term is $600 per course (for learners taking less than 3 courses per term and not seeking graduation from the ESL program; requires director approval).
• Bridge Tuition per 7-week term is $1,000.
• Part-Term Tuition per week is *$265.

* Part-term attendance is available only for admitted ESL students who enter classes at the beginning of a term, and attend a minimum of three weeks. All other fees apply such as placement testing, etc. Students must attend placement and orientation before they can be registered for courses. No term grades are given to part-term students.
