I can not register online because I am not enrolled yet, but classes

will start tomorrow. What should I do?

Go to the first class and talk to the teacher.

The class is full. What should I do?

Put your name on the waiting list. But keep in mind

to choose only one waiting list! Go to the first lecture

just in case.

I can not attend the first class, because…

Write the teacher an email and explain your absence.

I don’t know in which level I belong.

Register for the one you think you belong and go to the first class.

The teacher will advise you. The Language Center also offers a

placement test.
