What is CLIP?
The CUNY English Language
Immersion Program is for students who have been admitted to a City
University of New York (CUNY) college, but who want to spend more
time learning English before taking college courses. Classes in
CLIP are 25 hours a week. Both day and evening classes are available.
What
will I learn in the Immersion Program?
Students in the Immersion Program study reading,
writing, listening, and speaking skills in English. The goal of
the Immersion Program is to help students get the skills they need
to succeed in college. Students do assignments in class, research
projects, and work in the computer lab. Students also learn more
about college and get help with financial aid and how to continue
their education in college.
How
can I qualify for the Immersion Program?
You must be admitted into one of the CUNY colleges,
and you must take the CUNY placement tests. Taking classes in the
Immersion Program is based on these test scores. A college counselor
can also suggest that you take classes in the Immersion Program.
How
long can I stay in the Immersion Program?
You can enroll in the Immersion Program for
four cycles (or one year). You still have your place in college
during this time, and you will receive help to start college courses
when you are ready.
