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.

We will consider the schedule you request (day or evening), but we cannot guarantee it as it will depend on your current English levels and class size.
