Common use of Program Overview Clause in Contracts

Program Overview. The International Academy of English (IAE) is an intensive English program that offers five levels of instruction and a TOEFL Preparation course. Each level is taught throughout an 18-week term which is subdivided into two 9-week sessions (Sessions A and B). Completion of all five levels takes 18 months. If students fail, they can go through the term in the same level one more time provided they are making academic progress. The main objective of the Intensive English Program is to help students read, write, listen and speak in increasing levels of proficiency so that they can fulfill their academic and professional goals. Most of our students have the objective of being admitted to undergraduate or graduate courses in public colleges or universities. Students also want to learn English for professional reasons, such as getting a job or being promoted. Our primary instructional approach is skill-based as we place students according to their skill level in which we offer specific classes to help students enhance their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Our methodological approach is communicative since students learn the target language through interaction with their peers, teachers, and the outside community. As for our TOEFL program, the main objective of the course is to prepare students to be successful in the TOEFL test and to be admitted to the college or university program they apply to. The TOEFL Preparation course is also offered throughout an 18-week term and students can choose to repeat the TOEFL Preparation course if they have not attained their goal on the TOEFL exam by the end of the class.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund “The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.”
