English Proficiency Assessment Service
UIC applicants can use the Tutorium’s English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) as a replacement for English proficiency tests such as TOEFL and IELTS.
Payment Information for the ELPA
The ELPA fee is $135 per assessment, which may be paid in one of two ways:
- By the UIC department the student is applying to (via interdepartmental transfer), or
- Directly by the student through our online payment site.
More information:
- A $50 rescheduling fee applies if a student misses their scheduled ELPA interview or requests to reschedule less than 24 hours in advance.
- Students who have completed courses at the Tutorium are eligible for a 5% discount on the ELPA fee.
- Read our testing policy to determine if you are eligible to take this test.
- Applicant eligibility will be verified with UIC Office of Admissions.
For more information about taking ELPA, and to learn if you qualify to use ELPA for UIC admission, please contact tutorium@uic.edu.
