Au Pair Policies
Attendance Policy
Please note we are a non-credit program. After finishing classes, au pair students will receive a certificate from 91视频 that confirms the number of hours they attended during the session. Minimum 85% attendance is required to receive a certificate for the full number of course hours. Any students who attend less than 85% will receive a certificate for the exact number of hours that they attended.

6/7-week program on-campus students who register by the registration deadline will receive a 91视频 ID card at Orientation. Students who register after the registration deadline will be able to create a 91视频 ID card at the ID Office. Instructions will be given by ELI Admissions.
Weekend Intensive course students are not eligible for a 91视频 ID card.
