K+ learning system
Unique, specially designed
curriculum with bespoke
learning materials
“I have made great progress, thanks to our amazing
Kaplan teachers. They work hard to make lessons
interesting and always encourage us to express our
opinion.
Progress and level chart
The chart below shows the progress you
can make with a Kaplan language course.
On arrival at your school you will be given
a proficiency test to enable our staff to
place you in the correct class for your
level of language ability.
I arrived at Kaplan Harvard Square 5 months ago to take the
General English course. My listening and reading skills were very
limited at the time and I couldn’t understand when people spoke
English to me. I read really well now; not only trivial things, but
also academic articles. I take a class at Harvard University, and
I have confidence understanding lectures and also taking part in
various interesting discussions.”
Regular progress tests during the course
will then allow your teachers to monitor
your level of improvement. Typically,
students on an Intensive English course
take just ten weeks to progress from one
language level to the next.

REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE
“The idea behind the social program is quite simple: we
believe that learning doesn’t stop when you leave the
classroom, and that taking part in the social program
will help you to realize your full potential. It is a chance to
transform your school into a family, your classmates into
close friends, and to make memories that will last
a lifetime.
It is also a chance to explore the city—and country—that you have decided to
make your home away from home. We give you the opportunity to travel with
ease, without having the stress of organizing everything. The social program is your
gateway to a global network of friends, immersing yourself in local culture, and
having a whole lot of fun!”

KAPLAN’S GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS 2015 – California (valid January 1st – December 31st, 2015)
1. Rules and regulations: Students’ arrangements with Kaplan are governed by the law of the country where the particular
school attended is located.
2. Arrivals and departures: All accommodation is booked from the Saturday or Sunday before the course start date until the
Saturday morning after the course end date, unless otherwise advised. A partial week may be counted as 1 week’s
accommodation. Students arriving between 22:30-06:00 may be asked to book alternative accommodation in a hotel on their
first night due to late/ early arrival at accommodation, or be charged an extra night of accommodation.
3. Late arrivals, vacations and absences: If you begin your enrolment late or are absent during your course, no refund will
be made for the time missed. Periods of absence cannot be made up with free extension of the course. Session Break dates
are pre-built into the Academic Year and Academic Semester programs and students cannot make changes to these dates.
Breaks taken at other times will be marked as periods of absence. For other courses, granting of any Session Breaks after the
course has started will be at the discretion of individual schools, according to visa regulations, and may incur a change fee or
be marked as a period of absence.
4. Meals and classes missed: No refunds or substitutions will be made for meals or classes missed due to exams, excursions,
first day orientation or other obligations that fall outside the normal schedule.
5. Public holidays: Classes are normally not held and most school facilities are closed on public holidays. All published course
dates fall on a Monday. If the Monday is a public holiday, the start date will fall on a Tuesday. Compensation will not be made
for classes not offered on public holidays.
6. Campus Facilities: Students attending a Kaplan school at a university or college campus location are advised that campus
facilities may not be available during campus holidays. Further details are available from the Kaplan booking office.
7. Change fees: A minimum of 4 weeks’ notice is required for any change. If you request a change of school location, course
dates, accommodation or program type after your course has started, you will be charged a Change Fee of USD100, which is
payable at the time the request is made. Kaplan is not obliged to fulfill any change request. Academic Year or Semester students
cannot transfer to a different Kaplan school during term time. If changing to a location where fees are lower, the difference in
fees will not be refunded. If changing to a more expensive location or program, the difference in fees will be charged. All
changes are subject to Kaplan’s discretion and require approval of the Program Director. You will not be charged a change fee
if you extend your course. It is the responsibility of the student to pay for any course or accommodation extensions. Any change
of tuition resulting in a reduction in lessons will be treated as a termination of the existing booking and rebooking, and will thus
be subject to the standard terms & conditions governing terminations (see 'Termination Policy').
8. Duration of lessons: All English lessons are 45 minutes in duration unless otherwise stated. Courses run from Monday to
Friday and lessons are scheduled in the morning or the afternoon. Kaplan cannot guarantee a specific timetable.
9. Substitution policy: If, after the placement test taken on arrival at the school, a student is found to be at a level which is not
appropriate for their booked course, the school reserves the right to place the student in an appropriate level class, which may
have fewer lessons and a different curriculum. Students who do not have the ability to follow any course on offer may be
required to terminate their studies with Kaplan. We also reserve the right to cancel courses at short notice due to insufficient
demand.
10. Program changes: Kaplan has the right to change course dates, course curricula, tutors, location and programs at any
time at its discretion. However, in cases where the course is rescheduled prior to the start of the first course and the new date
is unacceptable to the student, all fees will be refunded.
11. Prices: Kaplan has the right to change prices due to tax increases, governmental actions or other events beyond Kaplan's
control. Prices are valid for courses starting in 2015.
12. Books and learning materials: All books and learning materials will be made available to students during their course. A
book deposit (USD40) may be charged at the beginning of the course. This will be refunded at the end of the course, if the
books are returned in good condition. Some specialized courses may require the purchase of books.
13. Residential housing deposit: A refundable housing deposit of up to USD 500 may be charged on arrival to students taking
residential accommodation in the USA. The deposit is returned unless there is damage, loss or extra cleaning to be paid on the
student’s departure. In some cases the deposit may be non-refundable if the booking is cancelled. Additional fees may also
apply in some locations (e.g. utilities, cleaning, linen, etc.).
14. Expulsion/ Suspension: Any student, who commits a criminal offence, violates the student conduct code or school policy,
has, in Kaplan’s opinion, a poor attendance record (whether or not such attendance is in breach of any visa attendance
requirements), is absent for 14 consecutive days without notification (USA and Canada), or fails to pay an amount he or she is
directly or indirectly liable to pay Kaplan in order to undertake the course, may be expelled or suspended. No refund will be
given and immigration authorities will be informed.
Student Code of Conduct:

packages will be charged at the full brochure weekly rate when any refund is calculated.
