Application Form for Admission to SIL-UND (Stage 2)

Revised: 2008 Mar 03

This form is part of the second stage of applying to SIL-UND. It asks for information that helps us prepare for your arrival.

It assumes that you have submitted the stage 1 application form and have been accepted as a student at SIL-UND for the 2008 summer session. (If not, please read the instructions at www.und.sil.org/apply.htm and then proceed to the stage 1 form.)

You can submit this stage 2 form electronically or by mail/fax:

Electronically (preferred): You must complete the entire form in one session, which takes 15-30 minutes; there is unfortunately no way to save your work between sessions. The form works best if you have scripting enabled in your browser.
By mail or fax: Complete the form on your computer and print it out; or print it out first and fill it in by hand. Then send it to us as explained at the end of the form.

Deadlines for submitting this form and your SIL application fee:

International students should submit them in time to arrive to SIL by March 1. (More time is required to obtain immigration documents from some countries, so the sooner you submit these things, the better.)
Students who indicated on their stage 1 application that they would like to apply for a scholarship must send them so they arrive by April 1 to preserve eligibility for financial aid.
All other students, please send them so they arrive by May 1; submissions after that date will result in a late fee (added to your bill when you register for classes in June).

If you have questions about this form or any other aspect of the program, please contact us.

Items marked with an asterisk (*) are required information.

Your contact information

If your contact information has changed since you submitted your stage 1 application, please provide new information about how we can reach you between now and the beginning of the summer session. It also helps if you provide the same information again, so we can cross-check our records.

Your directory information

To facilitate communication among staff and students, SIL-UND distributes a directory each summer with rooms, phone numbers and email addresses of adults (not children). Directory information is primarily for use by SIL participants and is not published for use outside the program. Occasionally, though, we receive requests for this information by people outside the SIL program (e.g., a relative, a UND staff member, or a non-profit organization with whom the participant has a relationship), and we use the directory as a basis for answering such requests. Most people want to have their directory information included in this list, but you may choose to have some or all of your information excluded.

Do you want the SIL-UND directory to include:
- your name(s)?	Yes No
- your cell phone or text messaging number?	Yes No
- your spouse's cell phone or text messaging number?	Yes No
- an email address? If so, which one(s)?	You: Your spouse:
- your dormitory room number or other local address in Grand Forks?	Yes No
- your local phone number(s) in Grand Forks (dorm, home, work)?	Yes No

Your U.S. Social Security number(s)

We eventually need Social Security numbers for all students in order to interact with the University and to issue tax-related forms (1098-T) at the end of the year. We use SS#s only for administering the SIL-UND program and we guard them to keep them confidential.

Please note: This form is only minimally secure. SS#s are disguised when information is transmitted to us but they are not encrypted. If you have any hesitation about submitting your Social Security number(s) electronically, do not do so; instead, mail it/them to us with your check or call us at 800-292-1621 and leave a message on our answering machine (see also contact information).

If you do not have a U.S. Social Security number (e.g. international students), leave these fields blank.

Your U.S. Social Security Number (please read note about security, above)

Your choices about housing and meals

Most participants choose to live in the dormitory complex with other SIL staff and students and eat meals in the university cafeteria. (For more information, see www.und.sil.org/roombrd.htm.)

* Do you wish to participate in the SIL-UND housing and meals plan?

Yes (both dorm and meals)
Meals only, I will find housing outside dorm
Neither

The cost for housing is kept low, in part, by students who live in the dorm contributing an hour of work each day to the program. If you do not want to participate in this arrangement, you may either pay an additional charge (currently $390, see costs) or make outside arrangements for housing and meals.

If living in the dorm, do you agree to contribute an hour of work each day to the program?

Yes No

Your children (if any)

All children 13 years of age and under who are living in the dorm must be supervised at all times. When parents are in classes, this is normally done through our child care program. The program is also open to SIL families who are living outside the dormitory. (For more information, see www.und.sil.org/chldcare2.htm.)

* Do you have children (under age 14) who will be participating in the child care program?

Yes No

Name—include last name(s) if different from your own	Male Female	Birth Date (m/d/yyyy)
Name	Male Female	Birth Date
Name	Male Female	Birth Date
Name	Male Female	Birth Date
Name	Male Female	Birth Date

* Do you have other children who will be participating in the housing and meals plan but not in childcare (e.g. ages 14-17)?

Yes No

Name	Male Female	Birth Date
Name	Male Female	Birth Date
Name	Male Female	Birth Date

Is there anything else we should know about your children?

Other adults accompanying you

Will anyone in your family be serving on SIL-UND staff?

Yes No

Who?

(Staff members do not pay a housing deposit.)

Will you be accompanied by a spouse or adult child (age 18+) who wishes to participate in the housing and meals plan but not in the rest of the SIL program as student or staff?

Yes No

What is his/her full name?

What is his/her relationship to you?

The housing and meals plan is intended for SIL students and staff and their minor dependents. Permission from the director of the program is necessary for a spouse or adult child to live in the dormitory and eat in the dining room if he/she is not participating actively in the SIL program as a student or staff member. If you need to request such permission, you may do so here (or see our contact information).

Reason for requesting that he/she participate in the housing and meals plan:

Special accommodations and assistance

Some people require special accommodations or assistance in order to participate in the SIL-UND program. Examples:

first-floor housing
sign language interpreters
note-takers
readers

We will make reasonable efforts to provide them, in accordance with UND policy. Although you may make requests at any time, it will help us help you if you make your request now rather than later. All requests are kept confidential. (If you prefer not to submit this information electronically, please send it by mail with your check.)

Do you require special accommodations or assistance? If so, please describe:

Problems you may have encountered in applying

Did you encounter any problems with the stage 2 application materials we sent you (acceptance letter, any of UND's forms, or this form)? Were any of the instructions unclear or confusing? If so, please tell us about them here, so that we can make things easier for future students.

Other messages

Is there anything else that you would like to tell us at this time?

Other things you need to submit

After you submit this stage 2 form, please send us a check or money order, payable in U.S. dollars to "Summer Institute of Linguistics", for the following amounts:

$25 application fee per student (nonrefundable)
$100 housing deposit per adult, if you want to live in the dormitory and are not on staff (refundable before May 1, and applied toward your housing charges once you arrive)

One check covering both amounts is fine. (Spouses may combine all amounts on one check.)

Please also include your U.S. Social Security number, if you have one.

Mail these things to: SIL-UND Admissions, 16131 N. Vernon, Tucson AZ 85739-9395, USA. (Exception: After May 15, send them to SIL-UND Admissions, 2901 University Ave. Stop 8217, Grand Forks ND 58202-8217, USA.)

Most SIL students also need to submit some things to UND. For details, see your acceptance letter or www.und.sil.org/registerUND.htm.

To submit this form by mail or fax, switch to small text size in your browser, print it out and mail it to the address just given or fax it to 520-825-6116 (don't send by fax after May 15).

To submit this form electronically, you may want to first print a copy for your records, as just described. Then push the "Submit form" button below.

It is the policy of the University of North Dakota that there shall be no discrimination against persons because of race, religion, age, creed, color, sex, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veterans' status, or political belief or affiliation, and the equal opportunity and access to facilities shall be available to all.
