CESL has five regularly scheduled eight-week sessions of intensive English each year which F-1 students on CESL I-20s are expected to attend. Sessions begin in August, October, January, March and June. Our vacations are in May and December when we run 3-week intersession programs. These may be traditional classes if there is enough enrollment or guided individualized study if there are fewer students.

New students may enter at the beginning of any session and must study for at least one month. Short programs or early departure must be established at the time of application.

Students who apply only for Summer I are not permitted to extend at the end of the 4weeks, and must either transfer to another institution or leave the U.S.
