Application

The Harvard Secondary School Intensive English Language (SIEL) Program is open to international students between the ages of 16 and 18 who have completed grades 11 or 12. Applicants must submit all parts of the Secondary School Intensive English Language Program application with a $50 nonrefundable application fee by May 2, 2003.

Students who pay by credit card may apply online, or students may complete the application form in the printed catalogue and mail it or deliver it in person. Application forms are also available at 51 Brattle Street or they may be downloaded from this website. (To download PDFs students must have Adobe's Acrobat Reader installed on their computers.)

Early application is encouraged because enrollment is limited, and a late-payment fee is charged to all Summer School students whose bills are not paid in full by May 30, 2003. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all necessary materials reach the program office in sufficient time to be considered. The Summer School is not responsible for forms that are lost in transit.

The admissions committee considers students only after all application and supplementary materials have been received. A decision letter usually is sent within a week of that time. Admitted students will be sent housing applications with their admission packets, along with more information about University facilities and policies. Admitted students must pay in full by May 30 to avoid late fees. (See the Academic Calendar for late fees and payment schedules.)
