The housing for each session will be in a shared two or
three-bedroom apartment. The apartments will feature Chilean
high-speed wireless and cable TV. Because there are no landlines
provided in the apartments, the Program will provide a local
prepaid cellular phone with five thousand Chilean pesos worth of
minutes, which can be used for local and international calls and
text messaging. Students are responsible for purchasing additional
telephone cards thereafter as needed. Withdrawal from the program
after a session has begun may result in the loss of the
accommodation fee. |

The cultural fee covers costs for the Santiago and Valparaiso
city-countryside tours and several hosted events (welcome,
mid-program, and closing dinners). |

Each apartment will be cleaned several times during each
session. |

Registration
The Chile Summer Program is open to all students enrolled at American Bar Association-accredited law schools and who are in good academic standing. Please talk to your law school’s administration concerning the requirements for the transfer of academic credits from the Chile Summer Program.
It is the policy of California Western School of Law to provide equality of opportunity in legal education for all persons, including faculty, other employees, applicants for admissions, enrolled students, and graduates, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, handicap or disability, or sexual orientation.
As participation in the Chile Summer Program is limited, it is best to apply early. The final date for applications is March 12, 2010.
If you have questions about the Chile Summer Program, please contact Chinthana Konganda of the International Legal Studies Program at California Western School of Law at [email protected] or by telephone at (619) 525-1436. For more information about the Chile Summer Program website please visit www.cwsl.edu/chile.
Coursework and Credit
Students in the Chile Summer Program must take all five units during Session One of the Chile Summer Program (May 24 to June 23, 2010). Students have an option to stay on for Session Two (June 30 to July 30, 2010) during which they can be placed in a two-unit field placement in the Practicum Component – real life experience in legal sector environments.
Students will receive a number grade for their coursework. It is up to the student's home school to determine whether the grade will be converted to a letter grade or will be reported as pass/fail. Students should discuss this with their home school. Students who participate in the Practicum Component in Session Two will receive a pass/fail grade for their work.

Cancellation or Changes in the Program
If the Chile Summer Program is cancelled, registrants will be notified in writing. Tuition fees paid to California Western School of Law will be refunded within 30 days of the date of cancellation. If individual courses in the Chile Summer Program are cancelled, registrants may elect to take another course in the program, or receive a prorated refund. The Director will use his best efforts to make arrangements for each student enrolled to register for a similar course, if the student so desires. The program is subject to change. The liability of participating law schools and the Consortium for Innovative Legal Education shall be limited to a refund of tuition paid on any cancelled portion of the program or individual courses.
Withdrawal from the Program
Students that withdraw from the program after the first day of classes will have their tuition reassessed. The reassessment will include a charge for tuition earned by CWSL based upon the Earned Tuition Schedule shown below and the students’ last date of attendance. If a student withdraws after the last date on the Earned Tuition Schedule, no refund will be issued. |

Return of Title IV Funds is a federally mandated policy applicable only to students who receive federal financial aid and who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of the program. The tuition of students who reduce units and remain enrolled is subject only to the tuition reassessment policy above. The Return of Title IV Funds calculation will be made by the student’s home school to determine how much aid, if any, must be returned to Title IV loan programs. The tuition reassessment policy will be applied after the Return of Title IV Funds procedure is completed. In some cases, the student may owe his/her home school money for the Title IV funds returned to the lender in excess of any credit balance on the student’s account.
The home school of any student who withdraws from or does not attend the program will be notified of the student’s last date of attendance.
