Success in the intensive FCI program depends on active participation and immersion in the language learning experience. For this reason, we have a formal process for requesting emergency absence. We also require each student to sign a Language Pledge.
Policies
Request for emergency absence
Because of the intensity of the FCI program, committed participation is crucial. Permission for any absence from any scheduled events must be requested in writing and submitted to the director of the institute at least one week in advance.
These absences are granted only for extraordinary circumstances such as health or family emergencies. If necessary, students will be granted a maximum of one absence for personal reasons.
Sign the Language Pledge
FCI students sign a Language Pledge, a binding agreement that helps ensure that the immersive environment offered though the program is maintained for all participants.
