The announcement says “Spouses of any faculty, staff…” The registration form (https://enaam85.wufoo.com/forms/p39c21s00y093r/) says it is only for students’ “WORKING Spouses.” A great deal of confusion, I guess.

Hi Tarig,

Thanks for the comment. The use of the word ‘student’ in the on line form relates to a student of the English Program. So an ‘existing student’ is someone who has already registered with us and attended a previous program. The term ‘Working Spouse’ is the spouse who is employed (or a student) at KAUST.

I will request a modification to the form to ensure this is clearer and to avoid any further confusion.

Kind regards

James

Thank you for your message and your interest in the English Program for Spouses. Unfortunately, registration for the current term has closed, and we are no longer accepting new students. The course will continue for 8 weeks, at which time we will begin a new term, and again do placement exams for new English students.

Regards,
Matt

Sorry Rasha, I sent you an email with the course details on Thursday, but the message came back undeliverable Saturday night. After the conversation with your husband yesterday, I sent it to him. I hope you got it. If not, please call me and I’ll give you all the details of your course.

Matt
