Is TOEFL requirement for permanent resident?

<p>After I sent in my final transcript to Admissions and Outreach, everything in my to-do list was taken off except for the TOEFL computer based. So, I called the Admissions about 2 months ago to ask about TOEFL test, a man told me that as long as I have finished the “CSU golden four” and have 60 transferable units, I’d be fine. And the TOEFL will be waived from my to-do-list after they reviewed my final transcript. </p>

<p>After 2 months waiting, my application status was changed to “Undergraduate clear after provisional admit”, and I was allowed to register for orientation, however, the TOEFL computer based has still remained in my to-do list. This time, I called to the office, and a woman told me that I have to take the TOEFL test if I have not completed 6 full-time semester (3 years) at a community college or at an institution where English is principal language of instruction.</p>

<p>I am very confused right now. I studied ESL for 1 year at an adult education school, and 2 years at my community college. I though TOEFL test is only for international student. So, do i have to take TOEFL test if I am a permanent resident and already completed English composition as well as critical thinking at my community college. And does it affect my admission for Fall 2012.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot in advance.</p>

<p>It happened to me, too. And no, you don’t have to take TOEFL since you have completed English composition. Back then, I have to email the counselor of my CC and have him take that off the list for me. It will not affect your admission anyway, but check out this list of Pomona counselor for specific CCs. If your school is on the list, just email the counselor and s/he will help you out: [Pre-admission</a> Advising](<a href=“http://dsa.csupomona.edu/admissions/preadmission_advising.asp]Pre-admission”>http://dsa.csupomona.edu/admissions/preadmission_advising.asp) </p>

<p>P/S: From the information you provided, I see that you are a transfer student. So, I would recommend to join this group of new transfer: [Log</a> In | Facebook](<a href=“http://www.facebook.com/groups/177819095671385/]Log”>http://www.facebook.com/groups/177819095671385/)</p>
