I. SERVICES:

A. Description of Services.

Through this site, we provide foreign language coaching services, which include Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian. The Services will be provided to the students through real time conference meetings between the coach and the student in sessions with a minimum of 1 student and a maximum of 4 students per session. Service is implemented through web-based software. Students will be responsible for having the technical requirements to access the online LinguaMeeting sessions.

LinguaMeeting offers two types of sessions: small-group (1-4) and one-on-one sessions.

Small-group sessions:

B. Scheduling Time.

The scheduled sessions depend on each school. All sessions will be scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Weekend availability depends on the coach. Students who cannot find a suitable session time should contact Customer Support for assistance.

C. Rescheduling of Sessions, Make-ups, and Extra Session .

Rescheduling: The student can change the scheduled session at any time and as many times as needed. IN the case the student has missed the session, the student should be aware that the make-up session applies to the course instruction regarding that same week.

Make-up sessions: A make-up credit can be used only after the student has missed a session. After it has been activated, it can be canceled (a minimum of 5 hours before the session start time) and reused another time. If a student misses the make-up session, the make-up credit cannot be applied to another session. For make ups to be available to students, the professor must select the option to offer make-up sessions for purchase in the coaching form. The selections made in the coaching form will be applied to your specific course.

One-on-one sessions:

A. Scheduling a session.

Students must schedule a session at least 12 hours in advance. Coaches need this period of time to plan and prepare for the session.

B. Changing/Cancelling a session.

Students can cancel their scheduled session up to 5 hours before the session takes place. Credit for that session will not be taken if cancellation takes place before the 5 hour period.

C. Make-up session.

Depending on course needs, LinguaMeeting may or may not give one complimentary make-up session and or may allow students to purchase additional make-up credits.

II. HOLIDAYS AND BREAKS:

Sessions will be offered during school holidays, but not during breaks. LinguaMeeting will notify students whose session times fall on a holiday one week before that holiday, allowing students to change their session time for that week.

III. RECORDINGS:

Students’ sessions will be recorded for Instructors to review. Instructors (not LinguaMeeting) have the option to make recordings accessible to students. LinguaMeeting administrative staff may use the copies (in form as provided or otherwise made available to them) of recorded interactive sessions in which their students were participants, in whole or in part, for any legal, noncommercial purpose, so long as they first obtain written consent from each student participant.
