The state of Florida requires students to take placement tests before entering certain programs. The CASAS for ESL meets the state's requirements for students entering an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program. You should take the test if you are entering the ESOL Program as a U.S. citizen or resident alien.
Seminole State uses your CASAS for ESL score to:
