If you graduated over 10 years ago and do not have easy access to transcripts, explain this in the OTHER INFORMATION section of your application.

Unofficial transcripts are fine.

For all transcripts, be sure the name of your school is on the transcript.

None.

You do not need letters of recommendation for admission to the Language Workshop.

Each scholarship has different requirements. You will find instructions and templates in the scholarship application form (part of the Workshop's Combined Application Form).

Participants are permitted to miss 2 days of class over the summer. Students who miss more than this may be asked to withdraw from the program.

Workshop courses, including online courses, are accelerated and intensive.

Accelerated language study takes a lot of time, every day. You may find it diffucult to combine your Workshop courses with work, other classes, or busy personal schedules.

Be sure to check the details for your course and be sure you will be able to devote enough time to the course to succeed.

No, Workshop classes must be taken for credit.

Yes, but students applying for both semesters have preference during admissions.

First-semester-only applicants can receive seats only if:

1. There are still seats available in your course when you apply
2. The Section Head for your language approves

Second-semester-only applicants can receive seats only if:

1. There are seats available
2. The Section Head for your language approves
3. Your placement test confirms that you are ready for the 2nd-semester course
4. You agree to audit the final week of the 1st-semester course and complete all assignments, in order to handle any technical issues and to get you up to speed on classroom practices and current material before you begin accelerated study for credit.

We are located on the 1st floor of the Global and International Studies Building at 355 North Eagleson Avenue.
