 Students will typically register for the Principles of Scholarly Integrity course in their first year.  However, the course is setup so that it takes about 2 years to complete.  There will be two workshops scheduled per semester. 
ESL Requirement for Foreign Students

Effective with students entering Fall 1997, all foreign students for which an English proficiency evaluation is required must pass to the "B" level on the "University Request for Evaluation for TA Certification" form by the end of their 2nd year. If the student does not, they will be considered to be making insufficient progress and can be terminated. They will need to petition to the Executive Committee to continue, but there will be no guarantee that they will be allowed to do so.
