Conditional Students

Conditional Admission is offered to students who are academically qualified to be admitted to SBU at the undergraduate, but have not yet reached the required English proficiency. The IEC does not review academic records, so if you are interested in conditional admission, you have to contact  the Undergraduate Admissions. 

If you accept the conditional admission offer, you must enroll in the Intensive English Center (IEC) before you can be granted full admission to the university. The IEC will issue an I-20 form and you will be a full-time student at the IEC program. You will matriculate as an undergraduate or graduate student upon successful completion of the IEC program.

Students who complete the Advanced IEC level (104) with a B or better will be cleared for admission to SBU without having to submit a new TOEFL, IELTS or DET score. 

The University Preparation (UP) Program is for conditional students who meet specific admission criteria and are taking university credit courses in conjunction with IEC courses.

Please note that if you are interested in a graduate program at the Master's level, you need to check if that program is offering conditional admission. For more information, please check  the Graduate School directly.
