Undergraduate Education has decided to work remotely March 14-26 to attempt to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19. This means that all March 14-26 TOEP appointments are cancelled. Please read below for guidance on alternatives for students planning to test this quarter. 

Students who have not taken the TOEP or have received a failing score on the TOEP:

If a student has been offered a TA position in Spring contingent upon their upcoming TOEP score, they can request to reschedule the TOEP exam to one of the times we are now offering on Friday, March 13 before our office closes on March 14. If a student is unavailable on Friday, they should contact us to discuss their options. For students who have not been offered a TA position in Spring, we ask that they wait until the next rounds of testing, which we expect to happen at the end of Spring quarter, during the summer, and in the weeks prior to Fall quarter.  

Students who have received a Conditional Pass on the TOEP:

Generally, students are only permitted to work as a TA with a conditional pass for up to two quarters. However, due to the current situation, any students with a Conditional Pass will still be eligible to work as a TA in Spring quarter regardless of whether they have already worked for two quarters or not. These students can wait to retake the TOEP during the next rounds of testing, which we expect to happen at the end of Spring quarter, during the summer, and in the weeks prior to Fall quarter. Students working as a TA with a Conditional Pass in Spring will still be required to complete English instruction during Spring quarter.

We do hope to be able to offer the TOEP early in the Spring quarter to students who were scheduled to test March 14-20, but this possibility will depend on guidance from the university pertaining to COVID-19 and Spring quarter. 

Students who were scheduled to test March 14-20 can still use the same document for TOEP part 2 when they take the TOEP in the future.
