English Language Program Registration

Overview
The University of Michigan Northwood Community English Language Program offers an educational and enjoyable program for non-native speakers of English four semesters per year. We have English classes for both adults and children. Our class participants and their families also enjoy services which help them to practice their English, meet other people, and get to know the area and culture here. Classes are small in size (8-18 students) and conveniently located on the University of Michigan North Campus.

In addition to classes, the English Language Program provides field trips, social activities, and native English-speaking Volunteer Partners for class participants and their families The program is open to both Northwood Community Apartment residents AND non-residents. Both residents and non-residents can save money with family and class discounts (see the information below).
