All multilingual students who speak English as a second language are welcome to take our Academic English support courses. AEP courses also satisfy the UW English Language Proficiency Requirement for both undergraduate and graduate students. If required to take AEP classes, enrollment in these classes must begin during the student's initial quarter of registration and must be continued in each succeeding quarter until the sequence of courses is completed.

Our goals are to support UW students so that they can participate fully in academic life at the University of Washington and succeed in their area of study by:

• helping UW students improve their academic language proficiency
• helping UW students improve their academic literacy (the skills to read, write, and think at the university level)

We have 60 full-time faculty and professional staff with advanced degrees and many years of experience teaching English language, studying other languages, and living around the world.
