INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM

Contact Us

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program at Chabot College is not as intensive as a program at a Language School. Please note that Chabot College CAN NOT issue an I-20 form to students with a major of "English as a Second Language Program". ESL courses at Chabot College are at intermediate and advanced levels only and are available to International Students in addition to their academic program.

Note: If you are a permanent resident, a U.S. citizen, or if you are currently in the United States in another visa category such as J, H or other, you should follow the instruction on the ESL program website @  http://www.chabotcollege.edu/LanguageArts/ESL/register.asp. You should not apply through the International Student Office.

Conditional Admission

To obtain a conditional letter of acceptance from Chabot College without TOEFL, students need to apply to Chabot College. If Chabot has all required documents except TOEFL, we will write a conditional letter of acceptance stating we will accept and issue a transfer I-20 as soon as the student has met the TOEFL equivalent through other school's intensive ESL programs indicated below.
