Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about IEI's programs.
Do you have any programs that are 4 or 6 weeks long?
No. We offer three programs during each calendar year. The Spring program (January-May) is 15 weeks, the Summer program (June-August) is 8 weeks, and the Fall program (August-December) is 15 weeks.
After I finish the IEI program, will I be admitted to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?
No. The Intensive English Institute program is separate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign programs. Admission to the IEI program does not guarantee admission to any University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign program.
Do you offer conditional admission?
No. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Intensive English Institute are separate programs. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign does not offer conditional admission to their degree programs.
The Intensive English Institute has an agreement with Eastern Illinois University (EIU) in Charleston, Illinois that provides conditional admission for students who do not have the English Proficiency Score (IELTS, or TOEFL etc.) that EIU requires.
