Upon arrival at Mason, the team helps students settle into life in Fairfax and provides social opportunities and a variety of resources tailored to the specific needs of international students.
International Student Orientation
Orientation involves a variety of important events that prepare students to be successful at Mason, including information about maintaining visa status, registering for Mason classes, health requirements, and insurance coverage. All students must attend the INTO Mason Student Orientation in order to enroll in classes.
Undergraduate International Year One Program
The Undergraduate International Year One (IYO) Program combines academic coursework, English language support, and academic skills development in a carefully constructed program designed to prepare students for rigorous Mason degree programs. For most students, participation in IYO will not add more time to the completion of their bachelor's degree.
Four types of Undergraduate International Year One programs are available:
- International Direct: This program is for new international undergraduate students who are academically admissible to GMU through regular direct admission, but whose language is slightly below full direct entry levels. As a result, they take one semester as an INTO Mason student but with a direct entry I-20. During that semester, they take a curated schedule that combines English language and cultural transition courses with Mason Core courses and courses in their intended majors. There are no progression requirements as there are with INTO Mason pathways. The only requirement is that the student remains in good academic standing as governed by the university.
- One Term Program (Accelerated): This program is a single term of study. Upon completion of all progression requirements, students will move on to their degree-seeking program as second-semester freshmen (up to 16 credits).
- Two Term Program (Standard): This program is designed to lead students through their first year of study. Upon completion of all progression requirements, students will move on to their degree-seeking program as second-year, freshman (up to 29 credits) or as sophomore students (30 or more credits).
- Three Term Program (Comprehensive): This program is designed especially for International students who want to start earning credits toward their bachelor's degree at a US university while improving their English skills. Upon completion of all progression requirements, students will move on to their degree-seeking program as second-year, freshman (up to 29 credits) or as sophomore students (30 or more credits).
The Undergraduate International Year One Program is designed for students who:
- Desire to study for an undergraduate degree in the U.S.
- Need to improve their English language skills
- May have slightly lower GPAs than required of direct-entry students
- Desire additional academic, language, and cultural support in order to succeed during their first year at a U.S. university
- Any or all of the above
Administered through INTO Mason in partnership with the academic units across the university, the courses in the various Undergraduate International Year One programs are taught by highly qualified Mason instructional faculty members and supported by International Year One academic advisors.
Students enrolled in any Undergraduate International Year One program should review the program's student guidebook for specific details related to program requirements and expectations.

Progression into Degree Status
Each International Year One (INYO) program has specific progression requirements for completion. These typically include a minimum grade point average and minimum individual course grades (no grades of W, NC, or I are permitted). Students should refer to the website for specific IYO program requirements. Students admitted to the university through an Undergraduate IYO program are required to complete all program requirements in order to maintain continuous enrollment.
Dismissal/Termination Appeals Process for INTO Mason Students
Undergraduate International Year One
Students who earn a pathway GPA of less than 2.0 at the end of their program are subject to academic termination. Terminated students may initiate an academic action request in order to appeal the termination decision.
Academic action requests must be submitted in writing to the academic advising staff located in the Mason Global Center by the deadline stated in the termination notice. Requests should provide an explanation and supplementary documentation. Students who are granted an appeal are eligible for a one-semester pathway extension.
Decisions on these requests are reviewed and approved at the discretion of the Academic Director. In some cases, additional reviews by the Associate Provost may be required.
Students who do not meet all requirements for matriculation to their desired degree program at the end of their final term will be reviewed for termination from their Undergraduate International Year One program. Terminated students may initiate one of the following an academic action requests in writing:
- request an exception to the program policy,
- request to change to an alternate International Year One program, and/or
- request an extension to continue studying as an Undergraduate International Year One Extender student for one additional term.
All terminated student academic action requests (appeals) must be submitted in writing to the academic advising staff located in the Mason Global Center by the deadline specified in the termination notification. Requests should provide an explanation and supplementary documentation. Students who earn two unsatisfactory grades of C or lower will be ineligible to continue as Extenders. Students who fail to meet the program requirements after an extension will be reviewed for dismissal from the university.
Decisions on these requests are reviewed and approved at the discretion of the Academic Director. In some cases, additional reviews by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education or Academic Initiatives and Services may be required.
Reenrollment and Readmission
Due to the nature of the Undergraduate International Year One Program as both English language development and academic coursework, students are subject to a limited reenrollment policy. Students who do not enroll after the first term or withdraw for reasons other than poor academic performance may request to reenroll in an International Year One program the following term (e.g., spring) to continue making progress toward meeting program requirements, with advance permission from the Academic Director. Students who do not enroll for two consecutive terms (e.g., spring and fall) must apply for readmission to the program and be re-assessed for language proficiency. Summer terms are counted for students whose initial enrollment begins in Spring semester.

Graduate International Pathways
The Graduate International Pathways are pre-master's programs that provide international students paths to various graduate degrees at George Mason University. The pathways give students the academic foundation, essential language skills, and cultural knowledge to successfully move on to their master's degree programs. There are one and two term options available for most pathways along with "Bridge" options for students with certain 3-year bachelor's degrees for many of the pathways. For most students, enrolling in a Graduate International Pathway will add one semester to their overall master's degree program.
There are currently 48 Graduate International Pathways available to graduate students. Each pathway allows students to progress to pre-approved graduate degree programs at GMU. The pathways are administered in partnership with the following nine Schools and Colleges at George Mason University.

Progression into Degree Status
Each Graduate International Pathway has specific progression requirements for completion. These typically include a minimum grade point average and minimum individual course grades (no grades of NC or I are permitted). Students should refer to the INTO Study website for specific requirements. Students admitted to the university through a Graduate International Pathway program are required to complete all program requirements in order to maintain continuous enrollment.
Dismissal/Termination Appeals Process for INTO Mason Students
Graduate pathway students who earn two or more grades of C or lower by the end of their program are subject to academic termination. Terminated students may initiate an academic action request in order to appeal the termination decision.
Academic action requests must be submitted in writing to the academic advising staff located in the Mason Global Center by the deadline stated in the termination notice. Requests should provide an explanation and supplementary documentation. Students who are granted an appeal are eligible for a one-semester pathway extension.
Decisions on these requests are reviewed and approved at the discretion of the Academic Director. In some cases, additional reviews by the Associate Provost may be required. Appeal decisions made by INTO Mason are subject to a final approval by the Associate Provost for Graduate Education. Students who do not meet all requirements for matriculation to their desired degree program at the end of their final term will be reviewed for termination from their Graduate International Pathway. Terminated students may initiate one of the following academic action requests in writing:
- request an exception to the program policy,
- request to change to an alternate Graduate International Pathway, and/or
- request an extension to continue studying as a Graduate International Pathways Extender student for one additional term.
All terminated student academic action requests must be submitted in writing to the academic advising staff located in the Mason Global Center within 14 days of notification. Requests should provide an explanation and supplementary documentation. Students who earn two unsatisfactory grades of C or lower will be ineligible to continue as an Extender. Students who fail to meet the program requirements after an extension will be reviewed for dismissal from the university.
Decisions on these requests are reviewed and approved at the discretion of the Academic Director. In some cases, additional reviews by the Associate Provost for Graduate Education or from a College Dean may also be required.
Re-enrollment and Re-admission
Due to the nature of the Graduate International Pathways as both English language development and academic coursework, students are subject to a limited re-enrollment policy. Students who do not enroll after the first term or withdraw for reasons other than poor academic performance may request to re-enroll in a Graduate International Pathway program the following term (e.g., spring) to continue making progress toward meeting program requirements, with advance permission from the Academic Director. Students who do not enroll for two consecutive terms (e.g., spring and fall) must apply for readmission to the program and be re-assessed for language proficiency. Summer terms are counted for students whose initial enrollment begins in Spring semester.
Academic English Program
Administered by INTO George Mason University's English Language Programs, the Academic English (AE) Program prepares international students for university study in the United States. AE is a non-credit program designed to develop the English skills needed for successful communication, cultural integration, and participation in the academic environment of the university.
Admission
Students who apply to the AE Program must submit an application, application fee, and required documents through INTO Mason. In order to qualify for admission to the AE Program, students must demonstrate that they have earned at least a high school diploma.
Students have the option to apply for the AE or an International Year One (IYO) Program. Students who apply to an International Year One Program but do not demonstrate entry language requirements are given an individual pre-arrival study plan that provides an estimate of the number of Academic English terms to complete in order to fulfill International Year One entry requirements (AE + IYO). This pre-arrival study plan is only an estimate; an updated post-arrival study plan with a minimum of one term of AE will be provided to AE + IYO students after taking the INTO Mason Placement Test.
For more information about International Year One admission requirements, see Undergraduate International Year One Program or Graduate International Year One Program.
Program Outcomes
After successfully completing the upper levels of the Academic English program, students will be able to do the following:
- Interact comfortably in the U.S. classroom with professors and fellow students
- Understand U.S. values in an academic setting
- Present their spoken and written ideas accurately and effectively in English
- Write research papers with proper use of citations and references
- Use the Internet and Mason library databases to conduct academic research
- Read, understand, and critically evaluate academic texts
- Understand and use vocabulary common to academic disciplines
- Take useful and accurate notes in academic lectures and presentations
- Develop and deliver oral presentations
Program Structure
The Academic English Program is offered three terms per year: Fall (15 weeks of instruction), Spring (15 weeks of instruction), and Summer (10 weeks of instruction). Upon arrival, all Academic English students are given a language proficiency assessment to determine their AE level placement. In order to be eligible for full-time status, students must be enrolled in a minimum of 18 hours of non-credit AE coursework per week. AE courses are offered at eight levels of proficiency regularly throughout the year.
AE faculty are highly qualified with significant teaching experience and master's or doctoral degrees in TESOL or related fields. The program is also supported by academic advisors experienced in working with multilingual speakers of English and the Student Experience staff, who help students utilize university resources and engage in the Mason experience through opportunities to participate in campus and local community groups/programs.
Curriculum
In keeping with the current literature on second language acquisition and pedagogy, the Academic English curriculum is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference scales (CEFR), American Council on The Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines 2012, and the Pearson Global Scale of English (GSE) Learning Objectives for Academic English. Curricular objectives and learning outcomes for each of the eight AE levels are geared toward an exit goal that is one level higher than the entrance level.
AE Level | CEFR Entrance | CEFR Exit | ACTFL Entrance | ACTFL Exit | GSE Academic Entrance | GSE Academic Exit |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
7 | B2+ | C1 | Advanced High | Superior | 68-75 | 76-84 |
6 | B2 | B2+ | Advanced Mid | Advanced High | 59-67 | 68-75 |
5 | B1+ | B2 | Advanced Low | Advanced Mid | 51-58 | 59-67 |
4 | B1 | B1+ | Intermediate High | Advanced Low | 43-50 | 51-58 |
3 | A2+ | B1 | Intermediate Mid | Intermediate High | 37-42 | 43-50 |
2 | A2 | A2+ | Intermediate Low | Intermediate Mid | 30-36 | 37-42 |
1 | A1+ | A2 | Novice High | Intermediate Low | 22-29 | 30-36 |
Foundations | A1 | A1+ | Novice Mid | Novice High | 16-21 | 22-29 |
All students, regardless of level, take one Core, one Oral Communication Skills (OCS), and one or two Elective courses for a minimum of 18 classroom hours per week. Core courses focus on reading and writing with additional attention to written grammar and vocabulary. OCS courses focus on listening and speaking with additional attention to pronunciation and oral grammar and vocabulary. Elective courses offer students a variety of content- and skills-based instruction and can be selected by students enrolled in co-requisite Core or OCS courses.
Please note that course offerings are subject to change, and specific levels may not be available every semester.
Grading System for Academic English
Throughout the semester, students are assessed on how well they have met curricular learning outcomes. Midterm and final grades for all Academic English courses are submitted to the University as letter grades.
Letter Grade | Percent Grade | Quality Points | Type |
---|---|---|---|
A+ | 97-100 | 4.00 | Passing |
A | 93-96 | 4.00 | Passing |
A- | 90-92 | 3.67 | Passing |
B+ | 87-89 | 3.33 | Passing |
B | 83-86 | 3.00 | Passing |
B- | 80-82 | 2.67 | Passing |
C+ | 77-79 | 2.33 | Failing |
C | 73-76 | 2.00 | Failing |
C- | 70-72 | 1.67 | Failing |
D | 60-69 | 1.00 | Failing |
F | 0-59 | 0.00 | Failing |
Grade point average (GPA) is an important factor in determining program-to-program progression and evaluating academic standing.
In-Program Level Progression
In Core and OCS courses, students must receive a final grade of at least 80% in order to advance to the next level of Core/OCS. If a student has performed exceptionally well in Core/OCS, the instructor may submit an AE Level Skip Form requesting that the student skip a Core/OCS level in the subsequent semester.
Program-to-Program Progression
In order for an AE + Year One student to progress to his/her planned Year One program, the student must earn for the most current AE semester a 2.5 or higher term GPA and a final passing grade (A+, A, A-, B+, B, or B-) of specified levels of Core and OCS. AE-only students must meet the same language requirements for progression and submit other documentation as required by the prospective Year One program.
AE students applying for direct admission to George Mason University must earn a passing final grade (A+, A, A-, B+, B, or B-) in specified levels of Core and OCS to meet entry language proficiency requirements.
AE Language Requirements for INTO Mason International Year One programs and Mason Direct Admission
Program | Language Requirement 1 | Language Requirement 2 | Language Requirement |
---|---|---|---|
Undergraduate International Year One (Three Term/Comprehensive) | Passing Grade in AE 030: Level 3 Core | Passing Grade in AE 031: Level 3 OCS | AE Term GPA ≥ 2.5 |
Undergraduate International Year One (Two Term/Standard) | Passing grade in AE 040: Level 4 Core | Passing grade in AE 041: Level 4 OCS | AE Term GPA ≥ 2.5 |

Direct Graduate Admission | Passing grade in AE 070: Level 7 Core | Passing grade in AE 071: Level 7 OCS |
* Information in the chart above only shows program eligibility based on language proficiency requirements met.
Academic English students may not level skip directly into an International Year One (IYO) program or direct admission the following semester. Even if a student is approved to skip into an Academic English level beyond what is required for the desired IYO program or direct admission, the student must complete the subsequent semester in the AE Program first. Students also have the option of submitting official TOEFL/IELTS/PTE Academic scores to George Mason University in lieu of meeting the AE program-to-program progression requirements, but must still maintain good standing in the AE Program.
Please note that course offerings are subject to change depending on enrollment numbers, and specific levels may not be available every semester. We encourage students to adjust their study plans accordingly in consultation with their academic advisor.
Attendance and Academic Probation
In order to make progress in developing academic language skills, students are expected to attend classes regularly and remain in good academic standing.
Attendance
An AE student who exceeds 15% absences in any course will be placed on attendance probation. If the student exceeds 15% absences in any course the following semester, the student is subject to termination for non-attendance from the AE program and George Mason University. Subsequently, the student will be terminated in the Student and Exchange Information System (SEVIS) and will no longer have valid F-1 visa status.
Academic Progress
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress in developing their language skills and may not attempt the same Core or OCS course more than three times. Academic progress is determined primarily through term GPA. Students whose GPAs fall below 2.5 will be given a warning, placed on probation, and/or terminated from the AE Program and George Mason University:
A student earns a term GPA below 2.5. | INTO Mason Academic Services e-mails the student that s/he is on Academic Warning for the next semester. |
A student on Academic Warning earns a term GPA below 2.5. | The student receives an e-mail and hand-delivered letter from INTO Mason Advising & Academic Services stating that s/he is on Academic Probation for the next semester. Before being permitted to register for AE classes, the student must meet with their assigned academic advisor and sign an Academic Probation contract. Students who refuse the contract or who violate the conditions of the contract will be dismissed immediately. Students who follow the terms of the contract and complete a successful semester will be removed from Academic Probation and considered in good standing. |
A student on Academic Probation earns a term GPA below 2.5. | The student is terminated from the AE Program and George Mason University. |
Termination Appeals Process for INTO Mason Students
All termination appeals must be submitted in writing to the INTO Mason Academic Services office located in the Mason Global Center within 14 days of notification. Requests should provide an explanation and supplementary documentation. Students who fail to meet the program requirements after an additional semester will be reviewed for termination from the university.
Decisions on these requests are reviewed and approved at the discretion of the Academic Director. In some cases, additional reviews by the Associate Provost for Academic Initiatives and Services may also be required.
Reenrollment and Readmission
Academic English students who do not enroll after the first term or withdraw for reasons other than poor academic performance (e.g., spring and fall) must apply for readmission to the program and be reassessed for language proficiency upon return.
