For students who have passed the Mathematical ability test administered by the University College but have failed the English language proficiency test, the under mentioned categories will apply based on the scores obtained in the placement test of TOEFL or equivalent. These categories will determine their placement in the preparatory course. Students who fall under this scenario will be provisionally admitted and are allowed to take a 3 credit Freshman level course (in category B), which do not require English skills as specified below. However, prospective students who score below 350 in TOEFL are rejected by the University College.

Category A : Students who have scored between 350 and 424 in TOEFL (ITP) or 2.0 to below 3.5 in IELTS (Academic), will undergo a preparatory course in IELTS (Academic) for a period of one semester (total of 170 contact hours) and at the end of the course students will appear for IELTS (Academic) Exam. Their maximum number of contact hours will be dedicated towards preparation for IELTS (Academic) during the IELP (IELTS - Academic) preparatory semester. Under this category the student will take the following course:

Category B : Students who have scored between 425 and 499 in TOEFL (ITP) or 3.5 to below 5.0 in IELTS (Academic) will undergo a preparatory course in IELTS (Academic) for a period of one semester (total of 120 contact hours) and at the end of the course students will appear for IELTS (Academic) Exam. Such students will be allowed to enroll up to 3 credit hours (one course) of Freshman level while the maximum number of hours are dedicated towards preparation for IELTS (Academic) during the first semester. Under this category the student will take the following course:

Students falling under this category will be allowed to take any one of the following Undergraduate Freshman level courses up to the stipulated maximum number of credit hours mentioned in categories (depending on their latest score in IELTS (Academic) and availability of that particular course in the ongoing semester):

Category C : Incase, any student from Category A & B is unable to score a minimum of 5.0 in IELTS (Academic) during the IELTS preparatory semester of study, she/he is allowed to re-register for another IELTS preparatory semester. In this category, students can enroll into a Freshman level course up to 3 credits (one course) depending on their latest score in IELTS (Academic) and availability of that particular course in the ongoing semester. For placement of such student, please refer to the policy mentioned in category A or B.

Important Note : Incase any student fails to acquire the required level of English proficiency even after the completion of their provisional admittance under the above mentioned scenarios and wishes to exit the University College, will be awarded a transcript for the undergraduate level courses completed during their association with the University College.

Note:
Students who score between 475 and 499 in the entrance exam of TOEFL will be eligible to retake a TOEFL test without attending any preparatory course if he/she is confident of scoring 500 or above in the subsequent TOEFL test. However, applicable TOEFL exam fee will be charged.

In case the student has managed to score 500 or above s/he will be admitted into the undergraduate program. In case the student is unable to score 500 in the latest attempt as well, s/he will be required to undergo a preparatory course in English and the latest IELTS (Academic) scores will be considered as the base to place the student in the IELTS (Academic) preparatory courses.

If the student scores inadequately in the Mathematical ability placement test given by Skyline University College and if s/he has scores adequately in the standardized English proficiency test to meet the admission requirement, s/he has to take the Mathematics preparatory course (MAT001 – Numeracy) to improve the mathematical abilities up to the requirements. Hence, student will be admitted into the undergraduate degree program on a simultaneous progression with the Mathematics preparatory course. The student will not be allowed to take courses requiring mathematics in the Freshman level. Such students progress to Sophomore Level until they pass the Mathematics preparatory course with 60% marks. The courses that a student may take on such a provisional status are:
