Priority Registration

Our Way to Give Thanks

We are immensely grateful to our supporters! Almost 25% of our annual budget comes from donations. As a token of appreciation, we offer donors of $150 or more priority registration, which guarantees them a spot in a GLN class of their choice.

Due to overwhelming demand – over 200 requests per semester for our most popular languages such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Italian, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and others – we are not able to accommodate every student who wishes to take a GLN class. Priority registration helps us say ‘thank you’ to our loyal supporters for their commitment and dedication to GLN!

Priority registration means select individuals will have a guaranteed spot in one class of their choice in a given GLN semester.

Who qualifies for priority registration?

Donors

We appreciate our donors’ support! As a ‘thank you’, anyone who has given $150 or more receives priority registration for one class during one semester of their choice within one calendar year from the time of the donation. Give $150 or more by May 4th and you will be eligible for Priority Registration for a Summer 2012 class! (Note: the donation is non-refundable and does not replace the class deposit. Donors still have to place a class deposit in order to secure a spot in a class.)

Students

Students who have taken three or more GLN classes with good attendance (ie, attended at least 75% of the classes) receive priority registration for one class each semester.

Students with good attendance in a given GLN class are eligible for priority registration to continue to the next level of that specific language. For example, if you take a Spanish Foreigner (Beg. I) class with good attendance, you will be invited to take the Spanish Tourist (Beg. II) continuation class offered the following semester.

Teachers

Anyone who teaches a GLN class receives priority registration for a year.

Teaching for three or more semesters = priority registration for life.

Teachers do not have to place a class deposit.

Volunteers

Volunteers who serve 25 hours or more receive priority registration for one class in one semester of their choice.

Volunteers who serve 50 hours or more receive priority registration for one class per semester for a year.

Volunteers who serve 100 hours or more receive priority registration for life.

Volunteers do not have to place a class deposit.
