A) Those who meet the academic admission requirements for the academic program to which they are applying, and

B) Those who do not meet the full English language requirement but have a TOEFL score of 61 or higher with all parts 15 or more, or a DET score of 95 with 3 of the 4 parts at 85 or above, or an IELTS score of 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or C1 with an overall score of 180 or higher, or PTE with an overall score of 50 or higher.

C) The International Honors and International Merit scholarships require students to meet MU’s English language requirements for their academic program and are not available to students in the AIM program.

Students admitted to programs in the College of Arts and Science; College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; or College of Engineering are eligible to participate in the Academic Integration @ Mizzou (AIM) program. AIM students’ I-20s will show both the name of their academic program and the AIM program and students will begin earning credit toward the academic degree starting with their first semester. Upon arrival on campus, students will take the English Language Exam (ELE) to determine how many and which ELSP courses will be required. The ELE is administered by the Center for English Language Learning (CELL) and ELSP courses are assigned based on ELE results. If required, students will enroll in ELSP courses for 3–6 credits (one or two ELSP courses) per semester. Overall, students enroll in a minimum of 12 credits combining ELSP and academic courses in order to meet their F1 visa regulations. ELSP courses do not carry credit applicable to graduation and do not fulfill MU degree requirements. If the ELE results show that ELSP courses are not required, the student may enroll in courses chosen in consultation with an adviser.

1. AIM students enroll in SSC 1150 — College Success Seminar in their first semester. This course introduces students to American classroom styles and expectations, and it familiarizes students with the academic support offices and programs on the MU campus.
2. AIM students enroll in one or two of the following English Language Support Program courses in their first semester depending on their results on the English Language Exam: ELSP 0100: Grammar and Composition I, ELSP 0200: Reading and Vocabulary, ELSP 0300: Grammar and Composition II. Depending on their performance in ELSP classes, students may complete their English language requirements in their first semester, or they might be required to take additional ELSP courses.
3. AIM students meet with an academic adviser to choose additional courses. AIM students may not enroll in any of the courses on the AIM Restricted Course list (see below). The restricted courses are selected based on data showing that they are very difficult courses for students who are still improving their English skills. After student successfully completes the AIM program, enrollment in these courses is no longer restricted.

Optional Practical Training (OPT): AIM students may not participate in OPT while enrolled in AIM but can take advantage of OPT after they complete AIM.

All Department of English (ENGLSH) courses • All MU courses (or course sections) which are designated Writing Intensive (WI)

• BIO SC 1010, 1020, 1500
• COMMUN 1200
• FINANC 1000
• GEOG 1100

• MANGMT 1010
• PHIL 1000, 1100
• POL SC 1100, 1400
• PSYCH 1000
• SOCIOL 1000

If an AIM restricted course is a primary pre-requisite for a student’s major, the academic adviser and the AIM coordinator can allow enrollment on a case-by-case basis. For example, an AIM student majoring in psychology might be allowed to enroll in PSYCH 1000, which is a primary pre-requisite for other psychology courses.

AIM students have a maximum of three full semesters (fall or spring 16-week semesters, not the summer eight-week term) to successfully complete the AIM program. Successful completion means earning a grade of C or better in SSC 1150 and passing all required ELSP courses. On completion of the AIM program, students have no further program restrictions. AIM students who do not successfully complete the AIM program within three full semesters can be dismissed from the AIM program and the university. AIM students are also subject to the probation/dismissal policies of their academic programs.

In this case, the student enrolled in two ELSP courses in Semester 1, but needed additional grammar and composition study in ELSP 0300 in Semester 2, and then completed the AIM program.

• Semester 1: ELSP 0200 (3), ELSP 0300 (3), SSC 1150 (2), MATH 1500 (5) = 13 credits
