Terms and Conditions
10. Homestay Process
I. FLS places each student into his or her
homestay upon arrival to the U.S. FLS students
that have requested our Airport Pickup Service
receive a friendly greeting at the airport upon
their arrival in the United States and are taken
to their homestay accommodation directly via a
comfortable FLS Shuttle Bus.
II. Each student goes through the placement
process.
Homestay placements are administered as follows:
A. Family members receive the student’s
application two weeks in advance of the student’s
arrival and students receive the homestay family’s
information in advance of their departure from their
home country.
B. Upon arrival an FLS Homestay representative
presents the student to the family and conducts a
homestay orientation.
C. The homestay family and student thoroughly
read an agreement outlining the conditions of
the homestay including use of the laundry room,
kitchen facilities, meals, telephone, and other
details of day-to-day homestay life. Families and
students also receive a 24-hour FLS contact
number for any urgent situation requiring special
assistance.
D. The first seven days of the homestay are
a probationary period. Students can change
homestay families during this period if they are
unhappy or uncomfortable with any aspect of their
experience without an additional charge.
E. Upon completion of the homestay assignment,
students complete an evaluation form grading the
homestay on a variety of categories, including
friendliness, meal quality, family interaction, house
conditions, etc. These evaluations are used for
future student placements.
11. Homestay Selection Process
A. FLS operates full ‘in-house’ homestay services.
This means that we do not use outside homestay
agencies in our careful selection process or in our
homestay administration. FLS maintains a full-time,
‘in-house’ homestay coordinator at each center to
insure direct and prompt attention to the concerns
of homestay students and families. The pool of
FLS families is contained in a homestay computer
database that assists in matching a student’s
desired homestay conditions (e.g. pets or no pets,
children or no children, smoking or no smoking,
etc.).
B. Each new family must go through a strict
selection process. The family selection process is
as follows:
I. We obtain family applicants through referrals
from existing FLS families, area churches, and
community service organizations (e.g. Elks Clubs,
Lions Club, PTA, etc.).
10
II. Families must complete a detailed application
including reference information from relatives,
friends and employers. We contact these
references to insure the family’s solid community
reputation as well as for student security
and satisfaction.
III. The FLS Homestay Coordinator visits the
homestay applicant for an interview and home
inspection. The homestay must be thoroughly
clean, comfortable, and secure and the student’s
room furnished appropriately with a bed, dresser
or closet, and place to study. In addition, the
homestay must be within 45 minutes to the
student’s school by bus.
12. Insurance
All international students must hold medical
insurance during their stay in the United States.
If an applicant cannot provide written proof
of insurance before arrival, that student must
purchase medical insurance for the duration of his
or her stay.
13. Payments
Please make all fees payable to FLS International
and mail them to: 301 North Lake Avenue, Suite
310, Pasadena, CA, USA, 91101. Wire transfers

14. Reporting
In order to be activated and registered in SEVIS,
F-1 students must report to their FLS International
campus in person, and enroll and register in
classes. The enrollment process includes paying
tuition and completing the student contract.
15. Student Behavior
FLS realizes that it can be difficult for students
to adjust to new environments. Our advisors are
experienced in dealing with these issues and will
make every effort to help students cope with
stressful circumstances.
However, FLS International reserves the right to
expel students from any of its programs for reasons
of extreme disregard of school regulations or
behavior policies, illegal activities or inappropriate
or illegal use of drugs or alcohol, as defined by FLS
International and the Center Director or Program
Coordinator at the site.
In the rare occasion that such a situation occurs,
a student will first be placed on probation (given a
verbal and/or written warning) and the agent will
be notified. A second instance of unacceptable
behavior may result in suspension (removal
from the program for several days) or expulsion
(complete removal from the program and a request
that the student immediately return to his/her home
country at their own expense).
The decision of FLS International in such matters
will be final and no refunds will be issued in such
cases.
16. Transportation
Students aged 15 and older should expect to use
public transportation to travel to and from school.
On occasion, FLS may accept a student under
the age of 15 for our programs. In this case, FLS
strongly recommends the students not use public
transportation alone. FLS will arrange alternate,
supervised, transportation for these students at an
additional cost of $50.00 per week.
17. Visa Denial
“Visa Denial” occurs when a potential student,
who has made payment to FLS, is denied an F-1
Student Visa by the U.S. consulate in his or her
home country. In this case, FLS will retain payment
for application, accommodation placement, express
mail and other applicable fees for services rendered
(excluding tuition) not to exceed US $500.00.
18. Family Visitation
For minor students (under the age of 18) who
intend to arrange a visit with relatives during their
FLS program, the student’s parent or guardian must
complete and sign a Family Visit Authorization form.
This form may be obtained upon request from any
FLS staff member or agent.
Prices and schedules are subject to change throughout
the year.
