- Avicenna International College admits students all-through the year, therefore foundation program groups are launched at several dates. In order to start a group, minimum 10 students should register.
- Each group will get all the prescribed educational material in full.
- Depending on the actual date of arrival, students either attend English classes till the next group is launched or join the existing one. In the latter case the student should compensate for the missed material. If the student cannot compensate for the missed classes, he/she is transferred to the newly formed group and start the study material from the beginning.
- This overview calendar does not include the dates of Mid-level and Level exams in English and Weekly Progress Tests (WPT) in science. Level exams are arranged on the last session of each English level, WPTs are held every Monday at 8:00 a.m.
