Incomplete

Students with an EAP English status of "Incomplete" did no correctly fill out all components of the EAP English test. If these students are accepted for admission to the CSU, they must take the EPT test.

Students’ scores on the EPT test determine if they meet the EPT requirement or if they will be required to take remedial English before enrolling in certain courses that count toward their degree.

Tips for Preparing for the CSU

Students with an EAP English status of  "Incomplete" should be encouraged to prepare for and take the EPT. The following tips provide some specific recommendations for preparing for the exam:

  • Inform students of the availability of the online Exam Prep tools to help them prepare for the exam.
  • Encourage students to prepare seriously. The exam is their last chance to avoid having to enroll in remedial English courses.
  • Remind students to consult the EPT Testing Schedule popup window icon and sign up to take the exam once they receive an offer of admission from a CSU campus.
  • Inform students that most CSU campuses will not allow them to sign up for orientation or register for classes if they haven’t taken the EPT exam.
