• Have a foundation on which to build further knowledge and language ability.
• Apply newly gained linguistic knowledge to meaningful communication.
• Collaborate with students from diverse backgrounds.

Specific learning outcomes are listed on course outlines.

3. The Academic Director will obtain a copy of the assignment/test in question from the instructor and will have another instructor re-
assess the test.

HOMESTAY POLICY

1. If a student books a shorter homestay period than tuition period, and later decides to extend their homestay, an extension fee will
apply. If they do not give a minimum of 4 weeks advance notice of their plan to extend, VanWest cannot guarantee their host family
will be available and relocation may be necessary. When their classes at VanWest finish, the student must move out of the homestay.

ARE NOT ALLOWED.

3. If a student wishes to leave their homestay early, they must tell student advisors or sales managers 4 weeks before they leave. If the
student does not, they will have to pay for the following month even if they have moved out. Please note that checkout time is no later
than 11:00 am on the move-out date.
4. The student will take part in the family’s daily life and should help when possible. The student must follow the house rules, for example,
by keeping their room clean, helping to clean up after meals, following smoking rules, and so on. Students must notify their homestay
family if they cannot be home for dinner or plan to be out late. Also, when making plans for the evening or weekend, students must tell
their homestsay family where they will be and what time they will come home. It is very important to communicate clearly with their
host family.
