 2014 Important Information
Acceptance Once ELS receives your application materials and fees,
and you are enrolled, ELS will send you an I-20 Form (Certificate of
Eligibility), if requested, and a Welcome Package. The Welcome Package
will give you more information about your next steps, including your
arrival at ELS in the USA and how to apply for a student (F-1) visa.
Program Entry Requirements
General English, English for Academic Purposes, Semi-Intensive, and
American Explorer are available to students of all levels.
Business English
An ELS Level 106 (High Intermediate) minimum proficiency is required.
Proof of proficiency may be submitted in the form of a score of 46 on the
TOEFL® iBT, 453 on the TOEFL® pBT, 550 on the TOEIC or IELTS™ Band 4.0.
The Complete Prep Program for the TOEFL® iBT
ELS will accept one of the following for admission to the program:
• ELS Pre-Arrival Placement Test result of 107 or higher – See
ELS.edu for details
• Completion of ELS Level 106
• Score of 52 on TOEFL® iBT; 473 on TOEFL® pBT; IELTS™ Band 4.5
Note: All tests must have been taken within two years prior to ELS admission.
Arrival and Departure
At all locations, ELS asks you to arrive the Sunday before your classes are
to begin, and depart on Saturday after your classes end. On your first
Monday at ELS, you will register for your program. After registration,
you will take a placement test and evaluation interview so ELS can place
you in the most appropriate level. You will then attend an orientation for
newly arriving students.
Registration and Payment of Fees
On the first Monday of your program, you will need to arrive at your
Center to complete registration for your program. Please bring the
following items with you:
• Passport
• A copy of your I-20 Form
• Funds to pay all remaining fees at ELS
• Completed Health Form (if applicable)
• Proof of medical insurance (if not purchased through ELS)
All fees are to be paid in full for your entire course of study when you
register. ELS works with many counseling agents around the world who
can provide you with information and assistance. Select ELS
agents are authorized to collect monies on behalf of ELS. If the
agent who assists you has such an arrangement with ELS, any
refund for which you may be eligible may be coordinated with
this agent. For a list of agents, visit ELS.edu/CounselorConnect.
ELS Language Centers Fees
Currency
All fees are listed in U.S. Dollars.
Application Fee
A non-refundable $165 application fee ($100 for Washington, D.C. and
New York State Centers only: Garden City, Manhattan, Riverdale and
Rochester) is required with your completed application in order
to process your enrollment.
Tuition Fee
Tuition fees are as listed in the “2014 Prices and Dates” document. You must
pay the tuition for all booked weeks before starting your program at ELS.
Instructional Hours
The General English, English for Academic Purposes and Business
English programs consist of the equivalent of 30 instructional lessons
per week (6.5 lessons per day Monday through Thursday, and 4 lessons
on Friday). The Semi-Intensive program consists of 20 instructional
lessons per week (4 lessons per day Monday through Friday). The
American Explorer program consists of 15 instructional lessons per
week (3 lessons per day Monday through Friday). The Complete Prep
Program for the TOEFL® iBT consists of the equivalent of 30 instructional
lessons per week (6.5 lessons per day Monday through Thursday, and 4

to placement and evaluation, registration and other non-instructional
activities. The last day of each 4-week course may be devoted to
graduation ceremonies and non-instructional activities.
Attendance
Because ELS would like you to get the maximum benefit from your
program, you will be expected to attend classes full-time. If you have
excessive unexcused absences from any combination of classes in any
session, you will fail the level unless you make up the work missed and
are able to demonstrate mastery of the material covered. More than 18
unexcused absences in a 4-week course from lesson hours in the General
English or English for Academic Purposes programs, or 12 or more in the
Semi-Intensive program could cause you to fail your level. Students are
eligible to take a 4-week break in study after 16 consecutive weeks of
study. Advance written notice and a $50 vacation deposit are required.
Center Hours
All Centers are open from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, except
