Program details to confirm

Full sessions last eight weeks and half sessions four weeks. The school states at least 148 classroom hours per full session; a fixed weekly load has not been confirmed. The fee-inclusive amounts recorded in our table include tuition, university student fees and estimated medical insurance only. The school's own all-expenses estimate also includes housing, meals and books; these are not included in our table's fee-inclusive amounts. A separate $75 nonrefundable application fee and $250 nonrefundable tuition deposit are listed; both are valid for one year. Insurance waivers require school approval, so the fee-inclusive estimate is not every student's final bill.

Do you need a visa for this program?

For this course at English Language Institute at The University of Alabama, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.
