information on our website.

Due: March 15, 2015

Step Two: Submit Paperwork

We absolutely need three pieces of paperwork to

complete your enrollment. Your seat is not guaranteed

until we have received your paperwork. Please submit

Form, and (3) your deposit.

Due: March 15, 2015

payment OR the necessary paperwork for a payment

plan schedule. Please contact the Program Director

with any questions.

easy. You should also plan your transportation to

Boston and alert the Program Director if you need

pickup from the airport or train station.

Due: June 20, 2015

Dear Parents,

I know international programs and travel can be taxing, overwhelming, and confusing at times— but it

shouldn’t be! I have worked tirelessly over the past four years to streamline the process as best I can. Still,

you will naturally have questions and concerns.

Whenever you need me, I am more than happy to discuss and explain any of the steps listed above. Please

feel free to contact me at any time from this point forward with questions, concerns, or hesitations. My

goal for this experience is two-fold.

First, I want to expose students to life beyond the United States and demonstrate the common ground

between cultures and countries. Second, I will try my absolute hardest to provide peace of mind to

parents—I will always be available to answer questions and would enjoy the opportunity to help you with

any difficulties you may encounter.

I look forward to getting to know all of the members of the All-American Team more and wish you the best

of luck in completing the current school year!

Q: How do you decide which students to accept? Is this really a merit based program or do you send out

letters to everyone and accept everyone?

A: We accept approximately 45-55% of students who apply to the All-American Model UN Programs. We

examine every application for: 1) Model UN experience, performance, and awards, 2) Academic

performance inside the classroom as measured by GPA, and 3) Leadership and performance outside of the

classroom.

Q: What happens if there is a medical emergency on the program?

A: All of our programs comes with medical insurance and our on-the-ground partners have extensive

experience leading tour groups in their locale. If the need does arise, we will utilize Western-style hospitals

and medical care only.

Q: What about safety and security?

A: We have extensive safety and security protocols and plans in place, which we train our students on as well.

In four years of leading global programming, we have never had a safety issue. Students are forbidden from

leaving the hotel or the group when touring.

Q: Do we have to use the All-American Programs to buy our flights?

A: Yes. Planning travel for so many students can be very difficult. We must have control over student

itineraries to properly plan for pick-up from airports. For students departing from Boston, we all travel

together. For students meeting us in India, we will do our best to make sure students travel together.

Q: Is Boston Training mandatory?

A: Yes. Students must attend training in Boston if participating in the China program so that we all travel

together. If there are exigent circumstances, please contact the Program Director to apply for an

exemption.

Q: Will there be training or work due from students prior to the program?

A: Yes. We have carefully developed a remote training program that students must complete. In addition to all

in-person programming, students will also receive 10-20 hours of writing review and tutoring to prepare

policy papers for both conferences.

Q: Who organizes the WEMUN Expo and Harvard Model UN India?

A: The WEMUN Expo is hosted by a Chinese organizer called Weland International, but committees are run by

the best conferences in the world, including the University of Chicago, Cornell, Yale, Georgetown, UC

Berkeley, Boston University, and others.

Harvard Model UN India is organized by a local Indian organizer called MUN Café and its substantive

program is orchestrated by Harvard University students.

On my honor, I pledge to uphold the values of honesty, integrity, and respect that are expected of me as a College Apprentice student in the tradition of excellence and performance.

A commitment to the principles of academic integrity is essential to the reputation of College Apprentice, College Apprentice staff, and College Apprentice students. All applications and work completed after acceptance to College Apprentice programs are subject to the strictest codes of academic integrity.

Students are accepted to College Apprentice programs with the expectation they represent their school, state, and country to the best of their ability at all times, including time spent in an academic context and at all other times. Intolerance of opposing views, difference in culture or heritage, and sexist, ageist, or racist opinions will not be tolerated. Violations may include immediate expulsion from program and may require immediate return to the United States with the violator bearing the cost.

College Apprentice holds its students to the highest standards of academic quality and professionalism. College Apprentice programs are designed to stress healthy competition and students are expected to perform at the best of their abilities at all times.

There is a zero tolerance policy regarding purchasing and/or consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs. Student rooms are open to inspection by College Apprentice staff without prior notice being required. Any student found in possession of alcohol or other drugs will be expelled from the program in which he/she/they are participating and made to return to the United States with the violator bearing the cost.

A curfew will be set for all College Apprentice programs. Students are expected to adhere to this policy at all times, unless accompanies by a member of the College Apprentice staff.

Students will be lodged in same-gender housing throughout the duration of the College Apprentice program. At no time should male and female students be in the same room without supervision by College Apprentice staff. Additionally, students are expected to be respectful of all private property. Any damaged or stolen property will be charged to students occupying the room.

Breaking any part of the Student Code of Conduct may result in immediate expulsion from College Apprentice programs, a ban on future participation, and return to the United States with the violator bearing the expense. All repercussions are final and binding and may not be appealed. Parents will be notified of violations prior to disciplinary action.
