Orientation Check-In

If you will take English as a Second Language courses* and/or have to take TOEFL or SPEAK test(s) before registering for courses, please check-in on early on Tuesday, January 5 in Knox Hall. You will be able to register for your ESL courses and test(s) on Tuesday so you will need to come early on that day. If you must take the TOEFL test or will take ESL courses but miss Orientation Check-In, your course registration for your other courses (major courses and General Education courses) will be delayed.

* If you are an undergraduate student who scored below 79 (iBt) / 213 (computer-based) / 550 (paper-based) on the TOEFL and are conditionally admitted to UB, you will not be allowed to register for academic courses until you have registered for the required ESL courses.
