Is it necessary to fulfill a minimum number of contact hours for summer FLAS awards?
The summer FLAS guidelines are that students must attend programs with a minimum of six weeks instruction, composed of a minimum of 140 hours for beginning and intermediate language students, and a minimum of 120 hours for advanced language students. The U.S. Department of Education will NOT be flexible on these guidelines. Look into either an extra couple weeks or private tutoring to supplement the hours of your program if it does not fulfill the minimum number of contact hours. • Q: Are there any other guidelines to follow while choosing a summer program for the FLAS award? A: Our only guidelines are that summer programs be a minimum of six weeks instruction, composed of a minimum of 140 hours for beginning and intermediate language students, and a minimum of 120 hours for advanced language students. We have no determination of the number of credits received, nor do we have a requirement that students take the course for a grade (i.e. they are allowed to take the course pass/fail). T
