Every student in the English Language Institute receives a class grade at the end of each session.  Your class grades are based on your performance on classroom tests, daily work and class participation.  Instructors indicate the weight of various course assignments on the syllabus which is given to students at the beginning of the class.  In ELI, the following grading system is used on class assignments:

P+     Pass with Honors

Gatekeeper Testing

At the end of Levels 2, 4 and 6, ELI administers a Gatekeeper Test.  This exam tests all of the language skills you have learned in your studies.  A score of 70% is required on this test in order to pass to the next level.  Even if you have passing grades in your classes, you must have a score of 70% or better on the Gatekeeper in order to be promoted.
