completion of the program is not included in the price and must

be purchased separately at an additional cost, if required.

the institution will refund all monies paid, less any actual

housing costs incurred by the institution and a maximum

total of $500.00 identifi ed non-refundable charges including

any application/registration fee, courier fees, and travel

program, FLS will retain a prorated amount of tuition based on

the published price for the period studied.

disciplinary and/or attendance policies, or local, state, or

federal law are not eligible for a refund.

Health insurance fees can only be refunded for complete

4-week terms that are not completed. Health insurance fee

refunds are not prorated on a weekly basis. FLS will refund all

fees within 45 days from the student’s last date of attendance

or date of determination. All refund requests must be made

in writing.

Homestay Refund: No refunds will be given for the fi rst

FLS-arranged apartments, dormitories or the International

House for a fi xed period of time are bound to stay for the

duration of that contracted period. Early move-out will result

in a forfeiture of all remaining unused rent fee. Note that this

housing term. Students will be solely responsible for

fi nding another student to take their place. The FLS Housing

Coordinator and/or apartment manager must approve the

new student before he/she is allowed to move in. Students

requesting housing at the International House in Boston are

subject to a $385.00 cancellation fee if canceling less than 30

days prior to the start of their program.

amount to a greater fee amount (for example, when a student

changes from twin room to single room or from no housing to

dormitory), students must:

A. Pay the $150.00 Housing Change Fee.

B. Pay the basic housing charge for twin room (if moving from

no housing to a housing option).

C. Pay any supplemental fees (or the diff erence between

supplemental fees) as noted on the current FLS price sheet.

(For example, a student changing from Twin Room to Single

Room would pay a supplement of $100.00 per week).

7. Homestay Policies

FLS will not place a student in a home with another student

with the same native language, unless specifi cally requested

to do so. FLS will not place students of opposite genders in the

same family.

FLS off ers various price ranges for diff erent homestay

situations. A ‘single room’ placement refers to a home with

two or more students, but where each student has their own

room. A ‘twin room’ placement refers to homes in which two

students share the same room.

8. Homestay Process

I. FLS places each student into his or her homestay upon arrival

to the U.S. FLS students that have requested our Airport Pickup

Service receive a friendly greeting at the airport upon their

arrival in the United States and are taken to their homestay

accommodation directly via a comfortable FLS Shuttle Bus.

II. Each student goes through the placement process.

Homestay placements are administered as follows:

A. Family members receive the student’s application in

advance of the student’s arrival and students receive the

homestay family’s information in advance of their departure

from their home country.

B. Upon arrival an FLS Homestay representative presents the

student to the family and conducts a homestay orientation.

C. The homestay family and student thoroughly read an

agreement outlining the conditions of the homestay including

use of the laundry room, kitchen facilities, meals, telephone,

and other details of day-to-day homestay life. Families and

students also receive a 24-hour FLS contact number for any

urgent situation requiring special assistance.

D. The fi rst seven days of the homestay are a probationary

period. Students can change homestay families during this

period if they are unhappy or uncomfortable with any aspect

of their experience without an additional charge.

E. Upon completion of the homestay assignment, students

complete an evaluation form grading the homestay on a

variety of categories, including friendliness, meal quality,

family interaction, house conditions, etc. These evaluations

are used for future student placements.

9. Homestay Selection Process

I. FLS operates full ‘in-house’ homestay services.

This means that we do not use outside homestay agencies

in our careful selection process or in our homestay

administration. FLS maintains a full-time, ‘in-house’ homestay

coordinator at each center to insure direct and prompt

attention to the concerns of homestay students and families.

The pool of FLS families is contained in a homestay computer

database that assists in matching a student’s desired

homestay conditions (e.g. pets or no pets, children or no

children, smoking or no smoking, etc.).

II. Each new family must go through a strict selection process.

The family selection process is as follows:

A. We obtain family applicants through referrals from

existing FLS families, area churches, and community service

organizations (e.g. Elks Clubs, Lions Club, PTA, etc.).

B. Families must complete a detailed application including

reference information from relatives, friends and employers.

We contact these references to insure the family’s solid

community reputation as well as for student security

and satisfaction.

C. The FLS Homestay Coordinator visits the homestay applicant

for an interview and home inspection. The homestay must be

thoroughly clean, comfortable and secure and the student’s

room furnished appropriately with a bed, dresser and desk.

In addition, the homestay must be within 30 minutes to the

student’s school by bus, with a maximum of one bus transfer.

10. Holidays

FLS International offi ces will be closed on the following

days for 2014:

January 1, February 17, May 26, July 4, September 1,

November 27, November 28, and December 25.

11. Insurance

All international students must hold medical insurance during

their stay in the United States. If an applicant cannot provide

written proof of insurance before arrival, that student must

purchase medical insurance for the duration of his or her stay.

12. Payments

We also accept VISA, MasterCard, and American Express credit

13. Promotions

FLS welcomes your ideas about potentially lucrative

advertising options and academic programs. Please do not

hesitate to contact us by fax at 626-795-5564 or by e-mail

at fl s@fl s.net should you encounter any worthy magazine

or newspaper displays, well-attended student fairs, or ideas

for innovative new programs. We look forward to rewarding

your eff orts.

14. Reporting

In order to be activated and registered in SEVIS, F-1 students

must report to their FLS International campus in person, and

enroll and register in classes. The enrollment process includes

paying tuition and completing the student contract.

15. Student Behavior

FLS realizes that it can be diffi cult for students to adjust to new

environments. Our advisors are experienced in dealing with

these issues and will make every eff ort to help students cope

with stressful circumstances.

However, FLS International reserves the right to expel

students from any of its programs for reasons of extreme

disregard of school regulations or behavior policies, illegal

activities or inappropriate or illegal use of drugs or alcohol,

as defi ned by FLS International and the Center Director or

Program Coordinator at the site.

In the rare occasion that such a situation occurs, a student will

fi rst be placed on probation (given a verbal and/or written

warning) and the agent will be notifi ed. A second instance of

unacceptable behavior may result in suspension (removal from

the program for several days) or expulsion (complete removal

from the program and a request that the student immediately

return to his/her home country at their own expense).

The decision of FLS International in such matters will be fi nal

and no refunds will be issued in such cases.

16. Transportation

Students aged 15 and older should expect to use public

transportation to travel to and from school. On occasion, FLS

may accept a student under the age of 15 for our programs.

In this case, FLS strongly recommends the students not

use public transportation alone. FLS will arrange alternate,

supervised, transportation for these students at an additional

cost of $50.00 per week.

17. Visa Denial

“Visa Denial” occurs when a potential student, who has made

payment to FLS, is denied an F-1 Student Visa by the U.S.

consulate in his or her home country. In this case, FLS will

retain payment for application, accommodation placement,

express mail and other applicable fees for services rendered

(excluding tuition) not to exceed US $500.00.

17. Family Visitation

For minor students (under the age of 18) who intend to

arrange a visit with relatives during their FLS program, the

student’s parent or guardian must complete and sign a Family

Visit Authorization form. This form may be obtained upon

request from any FLS staff member or agent.

Prices and schedules are subject to change throughout

the year.
