1. Take ENGL181-182 courses, or
2. Take the EMU FLEPS English Proficiency Exam Stage II. If the student receives a score of minimum 60%, s/he is enrolled on ENGL191-192 courses. If not, the student will have to take ENGL181-182 courses.

Students who score 50-59% are subject to be interviewed at ELT Department and upon being successful, they are eligible to start their education in their department.
