ESOL

Important Information

ESOL classes will begin on January 9 . ESOL class tuition is $30/semester in-state and $120/semester out-state. Class tuition is due on January 13 . A student who pays after the deadline date will be registered for classes upon availability.

Our adult ESOL program is for students 16 years and older whose first language is not English and who are no longer attending public schools. We strongly encourage students to begin classes at the beginning of the semester. However, if seats are available, students may be enrolled during the semester.

Those not fully fluent or literate in the English language are given the opportunity to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to effectively communicate. TCC's ESOL program is designed to help our adult students acquire the skills they need to meet their personal, vocational, academic, community and employment goals.
