Students who have a lower than required score or who have not taken a recognized English profiency test may attend a local language school to raise their English level before coming to Foothill or De Anza. Upon completion of the appropriate English level, they can enroll directly at one of the colleges at the next intake of students.
Foothill and De Anza College have guaranteed admissions agreements with many language schools. Please turn to the other side of this page for a list of our partner schools. The steps for applying for guaranteed admission are below:
1. The student completes 2 applications at the same time: a. Application to either Foothill College or De Anza College, plus b. Application to the language school
2. Send the completed application to each respective school. With the college application, please check the box “Attend a Partner Language School” on the application to receive a Conditional Admission from Foothill or De Anza’s International Admissions Office.
3. The language school sends the student the I-20 form and Foothill or De Anza sends a Letter of Conditional Admission to the student. The letter states that the student will be accepted to Foothill or De Anza upon fulfilling the required English level at the language school.
4. The student applies for the F-1 visa in his/her home country, using the language school’s I-20 Form and Letter of Conditional Admission from Foothill or De Anza.
5. The student begins his/her English studies at the language school in the U.S.6. Once the student reaches the language school’s required level (see reverse), or achieves the minimum
score on an approved language Proficency exam (listed above), the student can enroll at Foothill or De Anza at the next intake for admission.
