APPLICATION AND PAYMENT

Students must currently be in grades 10-12 for the 2007-2008 academic year.

Rolling Admissions Policy

We accept applications throughout the year until the programs are full.

Course Guarantee

We recommend that students apply as early as possible. Students whose applications are postmarked on or before each program’s course guarantee date and who are accepted into the program will automatically receive their first choice of courses, subject to enrollment levels. The course guarantee dates for each program are as follows:

The Oxford Tradition ....................................... January 11, 2008
The Cambridge Tradition................................. January 25, 2008

Students who cannot be placed into their first choice of Major or Minor course will be automatically placed in their second or third choice, subject to the availability of that course, and also placed on the waiting list for their first choice.

Admissions

Decisions are made within 4 weeks of a completed application’s receipt. If wait-listed for a class, the student will be notified as soon as a space becomes available. Applicants are only considered for admission to a program
once all of their necessary documentation is completed and received.

A completed application consists of four parts: a completed and signed application form, a deposit check, a copy of a transcript or most recent report card, and three copies of a personal statement.

If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment levels, students will be notified immediately and placed in their second choice. Students who wish to change courses may do so in writing to our New York office before June 1, 2008.

Applications require a deposit check of $1000 US ($1,100 US with Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance), payable to F.I.E. or The Foundation for International Education. NOTE: Scholarship applicants are not required to send a deposit check as part of their separate application.

The balance of payment for tuition is due by April 2, 2008.

EMERGENCY CANCELLATION INSURANCE

Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance is available for $100 US per application, to protect against unavoidable cancellations due to documented medical emergencies involving the student or immediate family members. This insurance can ONLY be purchased at the time of application and is not refundable. The policy is as follows:

REFUNDS FOR THOSE WITH INSURANCE

All payments, including the deposit, are refundable until May 1, 2008.

From May 2 to June 30, all payments, minus the deposit, are refundable in the case of a documented medical emergency.

REFUNDS FOR THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE

All payments, including the deposit, are fully refundable until March 31 .

From April 1 to May 1, all payments are refundable except the deposit. From May 2 no further payments are refundable.

NO REFUNDS ARE POSSIBLE FOR ANY APPLICANT FOR ANY REASON AFTER JUNE 30, 2008 – WITH OR WITHOUT CANCELLATION INSURANCE.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A small number of full scholarships are available based equally on financial need and the student’s ability to contribute to the program in the broadest sense. Applicants can either contact our New York office directly to obtain a separate application form or download one from our website. The application form in this brochure is not to be used in a scholarship application. Completed scholarship applications must be received in New York by February 13, 2008. Please ensure that you send your application early enough to allow time for delivery. Applications received after this date cannot be accepted.
