No TOEFL score is required for admission to SFCC.

Students are admitted into SFCC in two ways:

1. Students with a TOEFL score of 500 (paper) / 173 (computer) / 61 (internet) are admitted directly to SFCC’s academic program.
2. Students without a TOEFL score, or with a TOEFL score under 500/173/61, are enrolled in SFCC’s Intensive English Language Program (IELP) and are guaranteed admission to the SFCC academic program upon successful completion of the language program.
   
   Students who enter the IELP are part of the regular student population. ESL courses are taken on-campus, with instruction provided by SFCC faculty. All ESL students are invited to use all college facilities, and to participate in all student programs and activities.
