 Instructional Hours

The first day of each term may be devoted to placement and evaluation, registration and other non-instructional activities. The last day of each term may be devoted to graduation ceremonies and non-instructional activities.

The English Program

16 hours of instruction per week.  Classes run Monday through Thursday.  A form I-20 is not available for this program.  Therefore, for programs that run for less than 18 hours per week of instruction we do not issue an I-20 form.  Course levels include Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, TOEFL Preparation and Business English.

FELI Hours

School doors are open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. Evenings, school doors are open during scheduled class hours, except on national holidays.

Attendance

Because Florida English Language Institute would like you to get the maximum benefit from your program, you will be expected to attend classes full-time. If you have excessive unexcused absences from any combination of classes in any session, you will fail the level unless you make up the work missed and are able to demonstrate mastery of the material covered.

Student Health Insurance

All Florida English Language Institute students must have health insurance valid in the US.

The insurance coverage must be for the duration of your program. If you extend your program, you must also extend your insurance coverage period.  You must provide FELI proof of insurance coverage at registration.
