English Language Requirement

TOEFL and IELTS:
All non-native English language speakers must demonstrate English language competency by providing one of the following:

  • A minimum IELTS score of 6.0 OR
  • A minimum TOEFL score of 75 on the internet based test (IBT) OR
  • An ELS Certificate of Completion of Level 112.

The University of New Haven School Code for TOEFL is 3663.

Conditional Admission:
UNH offers Conditional Admission-in the form of a conditional acceptance letter only-to international students who are academically admissible but need to improve their English language abilities before beginning their academic studies at UNH.

The University of New Haven does not issue conditional I-20s for students seeking F-1 visa status if they have only been granted "Conditional Admission".

This means that if you have no TOEFL or IELTS scores or a low TOEFL (below 75 IBT) or a low IELTS score (below 6.0), you can still apply to the undergraduate or graduate degree program of your choice at UNH. If the Admissions Committee determines that your application meets all the requirements for admission except for the English language requirement, you will be granted "Conditional Acceptance".

Conditional Admission provides you with the assurance that once you have met the university's English language requirement, you will be allowed to begin your academic course work at UNH and you will receive a UNH I-20. Conditionally accepted students may opt to apply for an English language training I-20 through ELS New Haven which will allow them to come to the U.S. to study English before starting their academic degree work at the University of New Haven.  Please see below for more information. 


ELS New Haven:
ELS-New Haven offers Intensive English training to non-English speakers. The ELS program consists of 12 levels, from the basic to the advanced levels; each ELS session is one month in duration.  Students are able to enroll at the start of any session during the year.  A separate ELS application is required.

If you are seeking conditional admission, you need to send a separate application to ELS-New Haven. For more information on how to apply to ELS and obtain an ELS I-20, please go https://apply.els.com or visit www.els.edu/newhaven
