Some schools will require TOEFL and some dont. It is usuallly required for international students but it might not require for US resident ( Green Card ) depending on schools.

San Diego community colleges do not need a TOEFL. An LPR like any other student just need to take the English placement exam at the school.

My school requires TOEFL for anyone who primary language is not English regardless of their residence status. The TOEFL was only a part of the admission requirements. I had to take the English and Math placement exams. I did really well on the Math exam, but I did terrible on the English exam. During the first semester, the school required me to enroll into a Reading Skill course. The professor said my English comprehension level was considered equivalent to that of an 11th grade student in the US. I still remember clearly the anxious feeling of going to school in a foreign country. I was only in the US for less than 9 months when I started to go to school. It was not an easy road, but any immigrant could do it.

I said it MIGHT not require for US resident depending on schools.

I totally agree with you and I have no question with your comment. I am just discussing my school. I quote your comment as a way to agree with you because I was considered an international student a month before my green card came in the mail.

I got it family741.

Some schools are not required TOEFL for LPR who has been taken some classes in States such as Michigan State University, University of Florida. However, University of Michigan is required to take TOEFL or some English's test that is equivalent, if English is not your first language including US. Citizen through naturalization.
