TOEFL Waiver Requirements

ARE YOU ACADEMICALLY BOUND?

DO YOU WANT TO ATTEND UW OR ANOTHER US INSTITUTION?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE?

DO YOU NOT MEET THE TOEFL REQUIREMENT OR NEED MORE ENGLISH TO GUARANTEE YOUR ACADEMIC SUCCESS?

If you are an academically bound student, ELS Language Centers is the place for you! More than 550 American universities, colleges, career and vocational schools, including the University of Wyoming, accept completion of an advanced level in the Intensive English Program in place of the TOEFL. These schools, like UW, are members of the unique ELS University and Career School Cooperative Program. They will accept an ELS certificate in the place of a TOEFL score. They will also allow you to apply for university or college admissions before leaving your country through the ELS University Placement Service. If you meet all the entrance requirements except English proficiency, you can receive a "Conditional Acceptance," granting your admission after you complete the required level with ELS.
