POLICIES

As a student attending the Flagship Chinese Institute, you are required to abide by all the policies listedbelow. Please read each of these closely. Institute policies are non-negotiable and students will be updatedappropriately if a policy changes.

FCI LANGUAGE PLEDGE

Please remember that the Flagship Chinese Institute is an immersion program and that your languagegrowth and development is enhanced by the Institutes Language Pledge. In your application andsubsequent acceptance to FCI, you signed and agreed to abide by this pledge (see below). To ensure theInstitute quality offered by FCI, accepting this offer binds you to the following commitments:

I will uphold the language pledge governing the institute:

Immersing oneself in a foreign language is a key factor of success in an intensive language institute. Bychecking the box below, I pledge to use no language other than Mandarin Chinese during my entire staywith the program, in all situations and on all occasions except for emergencies or circumstances forwhich the Institute explicitly permits the use of English such as office hours stipulated for specialconsultation in English.

Beginning students with no Mandarin Chinese experience will be granted an initial adjustment period ofa few weeks to allow them to develop basic proficiency. If I am a beginning student, I will progressivelydesist from using English and completely adhere to the language pledge as soon as possible.

This pledge is a serious and binding agreement. I realize that failure to abide by this agreement mayresult in my dismissal from the program, the forfeiture of my tuition, and, in cases where scholarshipshave been awarded, the reimbursement to FCI of scholarship awards from my own personal funds.

Offenses will be addressed as follows.o First offense: written warningo Second offense: one full grade reduction for the course (for example, A to B)o Third offense: expulsion from the program

I further understand the obligations of my summer study extend beyond the traditional classroom setting.

I will be an active participant in all aspects of the summer institute. I understand that it is through active participation in classroom and extracurricular activities held during the week and weekend that mylanguage competency will grow. As such, permission for any absence from any scheduled events must berequested in writing and submitted to the assistant director of the institute at least one week in advance.These absences are granted only for extraordinary circumstances such as health or family emergencies. Ifnecessary, students will be granted a maximum of one absence for personal reasons.

ABSENCE POLICY

In order to maintain a quality Chinese language learning environment, taking even a short leave of absencefrom FCI is highly discouraged. However if extenuating circumstances require it, a short absence can bearranged. All absences must be approved by the program director and can last no longer than three

(3) days.* FCI students are only allowed a maximum of one (1) approved leave of absence from theprogram. If you receive approval for an absence from FCI, you will be required to complete all relevantwork you may have missed while gone.

*Note that Sundays do not count towards the 3 day figure.
