Conditional Admission
Students who want to enroll in a UM bachelor degree program but do not meet the minimum requirement for Full or Pathway Admission, or do not have an English language test score are eligible to apply for conditional admission. UM offers intensive academic English training for conditionally admitted students at UM's English Language Institute (ELI).
Conditionally admitted students must receive the required English language proficiency score on one of the tests UM accepts or a recommendation from UM's English Language Institute before they can begin their undergraduate studies.
