Box 80200 Jeddah 21589 The English Language Institute was established in 1975 when the university invited the British Council to setup a project to teach English to the students of the Faculties of Engineering and Medicine. It was first named The English Language Centre. In 1984 the Centre became an independent entity linked to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities for administrative and financial purposes. In 2009 the Centre was upgraded to an independent Institute supervised by the University Vice President. Today ELI has become one of the pioneer institutions in Saudi Arabia. It serves all faculties in the University providing Foundation Year students with 20 hours of English weekly, and provides English language courses to over 17,000 external students, 1,500 qualifying students, and 1000 E-Learning students. The Center is also about to launch an MA TEFL Program, and a teacher training program leading to CELTA. It is also considered a pioneer in e-learning. The System of Study - Schedules of classes are electronically registered for all students at the beginning of each semester. Students can pay their fees at the beginning of each semester and they must present a copy of the receipt of payment to the Deanship of Community Service and Continuous learning before the deadline allocated for this process. 4. Students who fail to pay required fees within the specified time will not be permitted to continue their studies and will be suspended. If the student’s cumulative average is below 2, then he or she is automatically suspended from the university. 5. Students who interrupt their study for four academic semesters will lead their posting.

Parallel Education Program In this program students study the same curriculums as regular KAU student, but their schedules are different since most courses are offered in the evening period. Students enrolled in the program must also pay partial tuition fees. The Parallel program was launched in 2005 and was restricted to Medicine and Surgery. It is expected to expand to cover other disciplines that are in great demand in the local labor market. Download 2.76 Mb. Share with your friends:
