Intensive English Program
for Transfer Students

Transferring from another SEVP-approved ESL school in the United States?

​

 We issue acceptance letters and transfer forms, which students send to their current school’s Designated School Official (DSO) in order to request a transfer of their SEVIS record to Colorado School of English.

Hybrid Classes

We are currently offering a hybrid program. That means our classes are available both online and in-person. Students can choose when they want to come in person and when they want to join online at home. 

 

If students plan to take classes online, they will need to have a laptop/computer/tablet that can access Zoom. They will also need to have a webcam and a microphone to interact and communicate with teachers and classmates.

 

F1 students arriving from out of the country after March 2020 are required to attend at least some of their classes in-person, as per SEVP regulations.
