What are the regulations for following language courses?
- Before attending a course you must enrol with the CALL.
- All fees must be paid before starting a course.
- You must attend at least 75% of a course.
-
If you fail to attend courses regularly for two terms, you won't be able to follow any more language courses.
-
Where there are an insufficient number of participants, courses may be cancelled.
We ask that you respect these regulations as there are considerable costs involved in setting up a course, including administration, internal and external personnel costs, placement testing, etc.
