Ready for CSU or Participating CCC College-Level English Courses – Conditional

Students whose EAP English status indicates that they are "Ready for CSU or participating CCC college-level English courses - Conditional" have demonstrated readiness at this point in time for English at the CSU. However, they will need to take an appropriate English course in the senior year to ensure that they continue to be ready.

Ways to Meet the English Placement Test Requirement in the Senior Year

International Baccalaureate (IB) English
Advanced Placement—Language and Composition or Literature and Composition
English Course Approved for Extra Honors Credit
Early Assessment Program (EAP) – A status of "Ready for CSU or participating CCC college-level English courses" indicates that students have met the EPT requirement.

National Standardized Tests – A qualifying score on one of the following college placement tests fulfills the EPT requirement:

Test	Required score for EPT requirement

Community College Course – A grade of C or higher in a qualifying English transfer course (Area A2) at a community college satisfies the GE requirement. Check the ASSIST course transfer website for more information.
English Placement Test (EPT) – Students who have not met any of the EPT exemptions requirements must take the EPT.
Students must take the exam before enrolling in courses at the CSU.
Exam Prep tools are available in a number of settings, including online tutorial programs.
If a student does not pass the EPT examination, he or she may need to participate in Early Start.
