Selection of Candidates

Selection of a nominee will be determined at the sole discretion of the ILI-ACLE, and will be based on evaluation of the nominee's credentials. ILI-ACLE reserves the right to limit the number of participants from a single country, to limit the size of a seminar, and to cancel any seminar in the event of under-registration. Notification of a nominee's acceptance will be made by fax, e-mail, or regular post mail.

Language of Instruction

All Seminars are conducted in English unless otherwise indicated. For a seminar to be of value, each participant is required to participate in seminar discussions and must therefore be fluent in understanding, speaking, and reading English.

Tuition and Expenses

Tuition covers the cost of all training services and seminar materials. Costs of travel to and from the Institute, housing in Kampala, meals, and other expenses related to participation in a seminar are to be borne by the participant and/or the sponsoring institution. Housing may be arranged by the participant, or the participant may use hotels recommended by ILI-ACLE. Detailed information regarding hotels and food will be provided by ILI-ACLE upon confirmation of participant's enrollment and payment of deposit.

An advance deposit is required to reserve a seat in the seminar, due at least 35 days prior to the start of the seminar. An otherwise qualified candidate will be accepted only provisionally until the deposit is received by ILI-ACLE. If the deposit is not received by the due date, the applicant may forfeit his or her reserved seat in the seminar. All deposits are non-refundable except in the event of seminar cancellation by ILI-ACLE. If an institution other than the one nominating the participant is paying for the seminar, the name of that institution should appear on the form under the section entitled “Special Financial Arrangements.” ILI-ACLE will in that case make deposit arrangements directly with that institution.

Please note that late payments are subject to a 2% surcharge on the amount outstanding or $100.00, whichever is greater, for each month or partial month for which payment is due. Also please note that ILI-ACLE does not provide scholarships unless otherwise advertised.

Insurance, Visas, and Travel

ILI-ACLE does not provide travel, health, or accident Insurance to its participants. It is recommended that all participants obtain health insurance prior to departure.

Each participant is responsible for obtaining all necessary visas. Please note that since visas take some time to issue, the requisite consulate should be contacted well ahead of departure.

Participants are urged to arrive in Kampala at least one day prior to the start of their seminar, so as to take full advantage of their experience. This is especially recommended for participants visiting Uganda for the first time. Likewise, departing flights should be scheduled no earlier than the day after the seminar concludes.

Administration

Seminars are administered by members of the ILI-ACLE staff. Detailed administrative information will be sent to participants upon acceptance.

Certification

Upon successful completion of each seminar, each participant will be awarded a certificate of participation. Successful completion requires that a participant diligently attend all seminar sessions, including team meetings, promptly at the scheduled time from the first day through the last day; read all assignments; and participate in all group discussions and exercises. If a participant misses a number of sessions without good reason, the ILI-ACLE reserves the right to withhold certification.
