brew University about the on-line registration.
It is necessary to submit also a report on a medical examination. You

Dates: The Hebrew University courses begin on October 22, 2017 and
end on January 26, 2018 [January 29 February 5: exam week]. The
courses on the History of the NT and Greek A (Fr. Josef Briffa, S.J.) will
begin on October 7; it includes the trip to Galilee. Students should ar-
rive between October 2 and 4.
Students interested in a summer program for the study of modern He-
brew are asked to get information from Mr. Valentino.
Permissions, Information in Rome: The course at Hebrew University is
very intense. Therefore it is not encouraged that the students enrol for
any courses besides the ones demanded by the program. Modifications
to the program or the addition of extra courses must be approved in
writing by the Dean (Fr. Dubovsk). Experience has shown that students
do not realize the intensity of the program at the beginning. However,
within two months the challenges of the program are very obvious. It is
better that students do well in the courses that they have to take than
take on the danger of doing less well because they have too many
courses.
Students are expected to stay at the P.B.I. in Jerusalem unless some
other arrangement is approved by the Rector (Fr. Kolarcik).

student to contact the University before arriving in Israel, but should
