New students whose English placement test scores fall below Level 1 will need to meet with the ELI Program Chair to find out if this is the right program. Students have the option of staying in the program provided they understand that they will be graded on their performance or request to transfer to another English school locally that allows them to start within the 30 days from their arrival date in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mayflower-blocks-collapse card bg-light text-bg-light\"><div class=\"card-header\"
