Section 3
As you listen to the first part of the conversation, answer questions 21—23.
Man: I'm interested in entering your business administration program. And I'd like some information on how to apply. I'm a little concerned because I've been out of school for a number of years.
Woman: That could actually work to your advantage. It's possible to get academic credit for work experience, if that experience is related to courses in our program.
Man: I've been working in business for several years. How would I get that academic credit for that?
Woman: First, you need to read the university catalogue to see if any of the course descriptions match your specific job experience.
For example, if you worked in accounting, you may be able to get credit from accounting course.
Man: So, then what would I do?
Woman: You would write a summary of your work experience, relating it to specific courses we offer. Submit that to the admission office with a letter from your work supervisor confirming your experience.
Now listen and answer questions 24—30.
Man: Would I submit those things at the same time that I apply for admission?
Woman: That would the best idea. Have you seen a copy of our university catalogue?
Man: Not the most recent one. I have a copy for last year.
Woman: You need to look at the latest one. Unfortunately, I've run out of copies, but you can get one from the library for now. And I'll send your own copy as soon as I have more available.
Man: Thank you. How does the admission process work?
Woman: Well, first you need to get an application foradmission. Those are available in the admission office. The application form contains all the instructions you need.
Man: That sounds simple enough.
Woman: Of course. You need to make sure you meet all the admission requirements.
Man: How can I know what those are?
Woman: We have copies of the requirements lists for all university programs, here in consulting center. I'll give you one before you leave today.
Man: WillI need to get recommendations from my employer or former teachers?
Woman: Yes, you will. The recommendation forms are available in admission office. Now, I don't know if you will also be applying for a part-time job through the university work study program.
Man: I'm considering that. How can I find out what kinds of jobs are offered?
Woman: You can exercise at the job listing from the computers in the library. Are you planning to study full-time or part-time?
Man: I want to be a full-time student.
Woman: Good. Then you're qualified for the work study program. Part-time students aren't eligible.
Man: As a full-time student, would I be eligible for free bus pass?
Woman: No. Unfortunately, we don't have those available for any of our students. However, you can apply for financial assistance to help pay for your books or your tuition.
Man: I'd like to look into that. Do I apply for that to admission office?
Woman: No, that's through us. You need to make an appointment with the consular.
