English Language Testing ExemptionsFor the benefit of graduate coordinators and graduate admissions committees at the University of Florida, here is a list of countries whose citizens are exempt from the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) requirement that most non-US applicants must meet. Non-US applicants are also exempt from these requirements if they have completed one full academic year at a college or university in the United States as a full-time student, earned an accredited bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree from a college or university in the United States, or have official proof of successfully completing the UF English Language Institute program before applying for admission. Applicants from Puerto Rico must meet the TOEFL requirement. Florida law requires all non-US students who are going to be graduate teaching assistants — even if exempted from the IELTS, MELAB or TOEFL requirement — to prove adequate command of the English language. Before getting a graduate teaching assistantship, they must submit TSE (Test of Spoken English) or SPEAK (Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit) scores that meet the required minimums.
