*Note: Application deadlines for in-person study are normally one month prior to the beginning of the next session unless we reach full enrollment before the deadline. Please apply as soon as possible in order to have the best chance of attending the ELI during the session of your choice.
**Note about arrival: All students are required to attend the ELI for all activities on all orientation days. Failure to attend as of the first day will result in a $100 late arrival fee and/or being deferred to a future session of study.
Note about holidays:
The ELI follows the UD policy regarding religious observances.
A comprehensive list of observances can be found on Interfaith Calendar http://www.interfaith-calendar.org/.
