Egypt who wants to pay the deposit for me; is that possible?

course hours until the level finishes (i.e.: a period of one month).
However, depending on the number of students enrolled at the time, we
may be able to accommodate your request.

of payment is not available. Payment of tuition and fees must be made
in cash.

duties while studying in the Center?

that students sign when they first start their registration in the
Center. This policy agreement covers all related matters between the
student and the Center. Students have actively helped the
administration in the establishment of this policy.
- Q12: I have been studying Arabic in
my country for a year. At what level should I expect to begin my
studies?
- A12: Our assessment of a
students level of language proficiency does not depend only on his or
her previous training. We need to know more information, such as: How
many hours did you study per week? Who was your teacher? Was he a
native speaker? In what discipline did he specialize (i.e.: Teachers of
Arabic for non-speakers differ from teachers of Arabic for natives).
What curricula were you studying? What textbook? And what method of
instruction did your teacher implement
- Q13: Do you have a summer program?
- A13: Yes. We have a special
intensive summer program. For details, please visit the webpage of The Summer Program
- Q13: Can I continue my studies at Al
Diwan after I finish the summer program?
- Q14: Tuition fees: are they changing?
- A14: Tuition fees published on AL
Diwan website are the exact fees you will be required to pay when you
arrive at AL Diwan campus. Any changes will be declared at least a
month ahead of the effective date. During your study at AL Diwan, if
there are any plans to raise tuition, you will be notified a month
ahead. Mostly, tuition increases do not go beyond 10%, and most of the
time they occur at the beginning of the year.
