This depends on the college program. While there isn’t a prerequisite level of ESL for college classes, it is generally recommended that a student complete the advanced levels before taking college classes such as English 101. Completing the intermediate levels may allow for success in college classes for other programs. Students may take college-level courses at any time but may save time and money by taking ESL classes first. Please contact the ABEC Transitions Coordinator, Elena Gardea, for further information at 847-214-6928 or email egardea@elgin.edu.
