*Students who begin ESL in
August or January and use campus housing and meal facilities will be billed
on the University semester (16-week) schedule even if they plan on staying
for only one eight-week ESL term. If this occurs, the student will be
refunded the difference upon leaving the university. This 16-week semester
payment plan is mandatory. Students who begin ESL in October or March
(or summer term) will be billed only for the remaining eight weeks in
the university semester.
