Get started
Due to COVID-19, we must advise and place new ELA (ESL) students through an online orientation and assessment process. Follow the steps below to get started.
Winter quarter classes begin on January 4. All ELA (ESL) classes will be online. Classes cost $25 per quarter. If you can't pay the tuition, please let us know and we can help.
Please stay healthy and safe!
Please watch this video to help you with the advising and testing process.
