HOW TO ENROLL

To enroll, please complete our Online Registration Form.

You will be notified of your acceptance within one to two weeks of receiving your application. We recommend that you begin the application well in advance for the summer months of June, July and August.

REGISTRATION FEES AND CONDITIONS
North America

1. For registration from North America a $US 75.00 registration fee is required with your application, together with a payment of $US 75 towards the first weeks' registration (i.e. a total of $150). You will receive an email notification with further instructions on submitting payment, after you submit the online registration form .

Note: The payment of the $US 75.00 towards the first week's tuition was a decision taken by the collective in September 2000, in light of the fact that several students with reservations in preceding months had failed either to appear for their classes, or to inform the school of their cancellation. If you wish to cancel, please do so TWO (2) weeks prior to your reserved time of arrival at the school of your choice, and this additional payment of $US 75 will be refunded in full. Otherwise, in the event of a late cancellation or a failure to attend at the school without prior notification of cancellation, this payment is not refundable.

2. If you are accepted, the $US 75.00 will be kept as a non-refundable registration fee (that is, it will not be applied to your tuition fees in Guatemala), and a place will be reserved at the school of your choice in the Hermandad for the confirmed dates of study. The registration fee entitles students to the use of the foreign offices' services, travel information to Guatemala and confirmed reservation. It is also used to cover the expenses of the international offices (advertising, phone, postage, printing expenses, etc.)

If you cannot be accepted (because the school is already booked for the weeks you have requested), the full $150 will be returned to you.

Europe

1. The registration fee for the European Office is Danish kroner 300 for one or two weeks and Danish kroner 450 for three or more weeks.

2. Similarly a payment of 450 Danish kroner (equivalent of $US 75.00) is required to go towards the first week's tuition (see 1 above).

3. The process for confirming the reservation is the same as North America.

TRAVEL INFORMATION AND REFERENCES

Information on travel, visas, dress, climate, etc. will be sent upon receipt of your deposit and your acceptance.

They can be reached by email and your queries will normally be answered within a day or two. Furthermore, you are welcome to contact the office in Xela for other queries.
