Summer Semester Announcement

Fri, 01 May 2015 08:38:53 -0400

Dear Students,

Can you believe how close we are to the end of the Spring Semester? We know most of you are focused on doing the best you can in your current classes, but we have a special announcement to make for the Summer Semester.

As you know, summer classes at the ELI begin on May 26 and end on July 17. We are aware that Eid ul-Fitr is also onJuly 17. If Muslim students wish to take this day off, we ask that you come to the front desk and fill out a special request form. Filling out this form ensures that your absence will be excused and your F-1 status will not be affected.

We have asked instructors not to schedule final exams, presentations or assignments on July 17. However, please plan to attend all summer classes until then.

Again, it is very important that you fill out the Request for Excused Absence on July 17, 2015 form at the ELI front desk as soon as possible. Students who do not complete this form will not be excused from class on July 17.
